      We have bought into a really powerful search, very exciting We can define really detailed product based 'landing pages' by creating a search that pulles on required attributeseghttp://www.OURDOMAIN.com//search/index.php?sortprice=asc&followSearch=9673&q=red+coats+short-length Pop that in a link Short Red Coats on a previous page and wonderful, that gives a page of short red coats in price ascending order, one happy consumer, straight to a page that meets their needs Question 1 however unhappy Google right? Question 2 can we meet Google's needs 100% with a  redirect permanent in an .htaccess file E.G redirect permanent /short-red-coats/ http://www.OURDOMAIN.com//search/index.php?sortprice=asc&followSearch=9673&q=red+coats+short-length
      Many thanks

        Google hates search results pages and it is usually difficult to rank them. I've seen some bigger brands and sites get away with it, probably because of their history and authority though. I don't suggest using them. I suggest creating permanent pages with clean URLs and using those instead. That means that 301ing that ugly URL with all of the search parameters in it, to a cleaner URL is an option. Or just build the page statically and create the URL, rather than having a 301 to it.

        • How long will old pages stay in Google's cache index. We have a new site that is two months old but we are seeing old pages even though we used 301 redirects.
