Re: [php-139] Search arch question

There are SEO benefits from the the directory/structure/approach. Search engines don't typically index items in the query string, and if they do, they are given a lower weight. 

So this:
/search/q/php/development

Will rank higher than:
/search?q=php+development

Is it really just a matter of how it looks?

So this project I'm involved with is doing queries this way:
/search/q/music/l3/ukiah/lid/2449750/l2/California/l1/United States/r/300/jt/+/i/+/c/+

It basically amounts to search being the controller, and then the rest are key/value pairs. When there's no value it ends up just being "+"

I think that's fugly and I'd rather see a traditional URL:
/search?q=music&l3=ukiah&lid=2449750&l2=California&l1=United States&r=300&jt=&i=&c=

Is there any reason why a traditional URL would be better, or am I just outnumbered by the other engineers and out of luck?
