It depends on the search engine that you use.

The search engine has two parts:
- indexer
  There are two general solutions for the indexer
  - web crawler
    This kind of indexer is completely independent 
    of the internal architecture. It's just following 
    the links in the pages. If it's a good indexer
    like htdig, it is not ignoring the query string.
    Otherwise you have to build your site in a way
    that it doesn't use query strings. (But that 
    that has nothing to do with MVC, that's true
    for any dynamic site)
  - internal
    This kind of indexer is typically built in your
    own code and is used primarily to build searches
    for specific contents in the site. (E.G.: Product search)
    This kind of indexing has to fit your architecture.
- query engine
  There are for typical solutions for this
  - standalone
    In this case the search engine contains a component 
    that presents the result to the user.
  - integrated
    In this case you get an API that you can use in your 
    own code to present the result to the user.
  - integrated+standalone
    Here you use the standalone solution to get the 
    results internally and use your own code to present
    the result to the user.
  - internal
    This is the counterpart for the internal indexer.
