Cannot index querystrings

[sidehacker]

OK, I've looked around the forums and cannot figure out if this is even possible or if there is a problem indexing...

I have a page that displays news summaries. Full articles are available by clicking on the link.

The page is news.php
There are several links to pages like
article.php?id=1
article.php?id=2
article.php?id=3

These links always appear on the page, so I know that phpdig should be seeing them. I can index them individually by typing in the full url in the index path, but they are not indexed normally when the entire site is indexed or when news.php is indexed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
sidehacker

Welcome to the forum, sidehacker. We're glad to have you here! :D

If I remember correctly, there is a small bug in phpdig where numbers are in the URL are concerned. I don't know if that's been looked at or fixed.

OK, I've been looking at this issue and what I have found is that if I have the same identical links in a very simple HTML page, then they are indexed, no problem. If they are in a more complex page, then they are skipped.

Here is the page
http://www.proofpoint.com/news/pressreleases.php

The pages that go to pressdetail.php are not indexed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
