Hello, If you see the below website. In place of ? used !.

Can you please help me how to replace ? with !.

Subject: Well that’s a different question, and is to do with web crawlers.

You can change it in your server configuration.

Very old web crawlers, one should add.

Subject: Replace ? in Web URL from #

Both Question Mark(?) and Pound (or hash - #) have specific meaning in a URL.

When you say you want to change one URL to another, it just “sounds” wrong!

I really can’t help you as I don’t have access in my role to the server documents. IF you were doing it with a n aplication I would take the URL and parse replacing teh ? with #.

Hello, Thanks for the respose. Can you please let me know what the diff between ? and #.

cannot ever mean the same thing as ?. The octothorpe (#) is an indicator to the browser that it is to scroll a named anchor into view after the page has loaded. There is an option in Domino to replace the normal search indicator (?) with an exclamation point (!). If you are not passing additional parameters in the URL, though, you don’t have to use a search part at all (unless, of course, you use the same name for different kinds of design notes). In other words, you can just use:

http://test.com/db.nsf/abc

Stan, I am trying to return a URL from my query save agent that contains a # directing the browser to navigate down to my specified named anchor. It appears Domino is truncating my # and the corresponding name of the anchor. Is there a way to get Domino to return the # and anchor name? I understand it is a reserved character and I wish to use it as the browser permits. I just can’t get Domino to play along. Thanks, Jeff
