Search plugin (I18N)

[mvlcek]

Hello,

Is there a way to change the default ugly urls' to something more user and search engine friendly?

http://site.com/blog?tags=&words=&search=&page=4 (using with special pages)

to something like this

http://site.com/blog/page4

Have anyone did this in the past? rewrite rules anyone? Thanks.

You cannot remove the search parameters, but if you install the Pagify plugin and add to gsconfig.php

Code:

define('PAGIFY_SEPARATOR','/page');

you might move the page parameter to the URL. Of course you also need to add appropriate rewrite rules.
BTW, google also has the page number (items to skip, start) as parameter in the URL.
Anyway, the only time a search engine might index your search result page is if you include a link like /search/?words=mysearchterm or similar in another page.

One more thing. I'm trying to display the latest blog posts in the website's footer using the special pages plugin.

I can remove the UL? Haven't found any param in the docs

Just add appropriate rules to your CSS that ul/li are not visible as such.

additionally I'd like to add the entry count (1-4) to the class of a opening div

You could add an additional search call (return_i18n_search_results, get words/tags from URL) and use the number of returned items (count($searchresults->results)) in the surrounding div.
