    Hi,

    I am running a SQL Server/ASP driven website. As it stands if you do a search on the site, the results page address turns up something like this...abc.com/Results.asp?Coname=JohnDough. Is it possible to get the address bar to read e.g. abc.com/JohnDough instead. Or alteratively to type in this URL and bring back the results that would have appeared had i searched abc.com/Results.asp?Coname=JohnDough

    many thanks

    Approach 3 is what you're looking for here - http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/tip-trick-url-rewriting-with-asp-net

    * I'm in no way good at ASP but url rewrite are pretty similar across the board.

    What you want is Seach Engine Friendly Urls. Apache rewrite supports this.

    If your pages have a .asp extension, they're probably written in classic ASP (not .net) on Microsoft IIS (no Apache).

    You can use something like ISAPI Rewrite (Helicon Tech) to rewrite the URLS to mask the query strings.
