True. But only parts of it. Things like the sid *should* be ignored
by the search engine, so they would belong behind the ?. Similarly, a
search result is fairly dynamic, and so wouldn't be worth saving --
those sorts of variables. But departments and items are relatively
static -- static enough to be indexed -- and it would be ideal (though
perhaps not valuable enough) to put those before the ?. Freetrade can
parse everything in the URL that comes after index.php3 however it
wants, so it *can* pass information that way. This, of course, can be
abused.
Right now there's no distinguishing between variables that lead to
truly dynamic results, and variables that are used to fetch a
(relatively) persistent page. Putting that distinction into Freetrade
probably isn't worth it, though. It was just a thought.
