Google and '?'

[jamesmiddz]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how strick Google is on accepting string information within a URL?

I have been told countless times that certain search engines disregard information after the '?', such as:

http://www.shmootcase.co.uk/search/accommodation_list/county_results.php?county=Carmarthenshire&accom=Holiday%20Site

the ?county...etc being the problem.

If this is the case, it presents a big problem for people who run database driven sites.

If you know of a way of encouraging search engines to follow such URL....please let me know.

Kind regards,
