How is IT handling multi-page search results for this url?

How is the IT team handling multi-page results? The URL is the same - with out any parameters, but the content changes. Is this best way to handle it from an SEO perspective?

Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean on this as every time I refresh the page you linked to I get the same page content. It could be that though from time to time the page content changes. That will be produced by an extension of some sort for the OpenCart shopping system being used on this site. For example: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route=extension/extension/info&extension_id=5490
Is this the best way to handle it from an SEO perspective? If it was every page on your site then I would say yes, but I would guess this only affects the home page and in that case it doesn't really matter. If anything it may help a little because the search engines will see the content changed every time they visit that page.
I hope that helps.

Thanks. What I mean is if you scroll to the bottom of the page and click the link to page2 or 3, it is the same URL with no parameter.

OK, I see what you mean now. I am not sure how they are doing that. You would normally see that if the content of the page was output through an iframe but I couldn't find one in the source code. It's possible it is something OpenCart is doing
It's not a great idea from a user experience basis really, but search engines are not going to read the URL in the address bar. They will use the links that are in the pagination links at the bottom. For example, this is page 2:
http://www.manhattanfruitier.com/index.php?route=product/category/shopall_Data&osc=0&page=2
So that is what will be indexed.
