How is this achieved in the address bar

[LyonsIceCream]

Hi, firstly sorry if its a stupid question or if it is in the wrong section of the forum

 

I just wanted to know how this is achieved

 

If you go onto the website reed.co.uk and do a search lets say

Fabricator in Derby 

 

How do you get the address bar to say 

 

webaddress/jobs/fabricator-in-derby

 

Thanks for any help or advice you can give

They use Javascript to take what you enter into the boxes and generate the new URL, then re-direct you to that new URL.

 

After that they probably use something like mod_rewrite to map the URL to a script which extracts the parts and does the work. It you look up search engine friendly URL's you will find some information about how to setup the necessary re-writes.

Right ok thank you seems a bit advanced for me.

 

Does this method have any impact on SEO or is it more a "User Freindly" experience?

I hear people swear it helps SEO. But you should be more concerned about your user, first thing would be getting all the other stuff right before focusing on pretty URL.
