*edit*
Actually I can, but it involves a core hack to change "s" to summat else.

Although, if you just want to stop all htaccess redirects with "?s=" then you can just do a query string thing higher in your htaccess that dev nulls them

Well, ain't you a cutie? Nor can I. Bugger, innit?

Bugger, I edited as you posted so I'll just *points up*

That htaccess idea would work - and that sure beats messing with the code. Thanks.

I'll just struggle with that for a day or so then come creeping back and ask you how.

Cool that gives me time to google a reply L:D

When I do it'd probably go summat like :

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} s=
RewriteRule .* http://sod-off.com/  [R=301,L]

Just guessing though, cos I avoid google where I can ;)
