[ic] Removing '?' and '&' from the URL for search engine submission, Generate Static

Fellow Interchangers,

I recently filed a bug for the Generate Static feature ( 
http://interchange.redhat.com/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=419 ).  (It is also 
pasted below).  Please comment on that if you would like.  Otherwise, I 
would like to ask what you are doing to submit sites to search engines that 
require that '?' and '&' are not in the URL.  Are you using Static 
generation?

I tried creating an entrance.html with the following:

[set mv_no_session_id]1[/set]
[set mv_no_count]1[/set]
[include pages/index.html]

But all the links still had "?session_id=..." for the first page (2nd and 
thereafter did not).

Is there another simpler solution that I am overlooking?

Thanks,

The 'Generate Static' feature of the Admin UI doesn't seem to be working
correctly out of the box.  On the demo site, doing a build of index, results,
and flypage come out as follows:

  * the flypages (<sku>.html) generated do not have any content:
<!-- BEGIN CONTENT -->

<br>



<!-- END CONTENT -->

  * Likewise, the scan/ links that it creates from index.html and results.html
only show:

Sorry, no matches for

Errors:
No search was found

With the relevent <!-- BEGIN CONTENT --> attached.
