No. Zen Cart requires the information be passed in the URL (and they are not always the same). In a stock Zen Cart the "Search Results Page" is flagged as noindex and nofollow. The big SEs frown upon "search result spam". So no real "SEO" benefit to be found by messing with the URL of the "Search Results Page".Quote:

I just installed the latest version of Ultimate SEO URLS (2.215).
I am seeing an issue with the built-in manufacturers sidebox, which displays a pulldown list of all the manufacturers, and when you choose one of the manufacturers, it submits a form, and goes to that manufacturers page. With SEO URLS installed and turned on, it is going to:
All the other pages are generating appropriate seo urls.Code:?main_page=index&manufacturers_id=2
I searched through this thread, and found a report of a similar issue, and the response was:
Like I said, I am using the built-in 1.5.4 manufacturers sidebox, so presumably it should be updated with the latest code.Quote:

However, I'm not sure if they were referring to the same sidebox module.Quote:

90%; margin: auto;"') . zen_hide_session_id();
$content .= '</form>';
$content .= '</div>';

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can fix this issue? I apologize if I missed a post on this, but I tried to do a very thorough search on this.
Thanks in advance for any help!
ok I have been searching this thread for hours and not finding anything on this. I have 1.5.4 loaded and trying to install this module. I have triple checked all of my install files and everything seems to be right but I am getting the following messages... can anyone help or shed light on to what might possibly be wrong? the X's are replacing my admin section and user name...

Error Ultimate URLs installation / upgrade failed!
That message indicates the user (the HTTP server or PHP runs as) does not have write / delete permissions for those files.
What permissions are assigned to those files? What user is the HTTP server running as? If PHP runs as a seperate process, what user are the scripts run as?
Answers to the above depend upon your hosting provider and their server configuration. Your hosting provider should be able to help identify the above information. They should also be able to identify the neccessary changes (needed on their server) you need to make to file permissions to allow write / delete access for PHP scripts.
Was afraid you were gonna ask and say those things. I did change the permissions on those files to 777 and had tried it again but still didn't work. As far as the rest of your questions, they are a little bit greek to me so I will contact the hosting provider and ask them for assistance and see where it goes from there. Thanks for your quick reply!

ok got it, turns out that mod_ruid2 was not running on my server. That was enabled by my host and all is working fine now it appears! Thank you so much for the help!!
