I wan to hide &Search=Search or somehow display a more professional friendly url

I want to hide the &Search=Search and possibly even do some url rewriting
1. Is there a simple resolution to hide the &Search=Search and still clear the search. I am linking to numerous variables of my results page in my site.

You could pick any random end to the url like: /new to signify a cleared search and then use .htaccess to mod rewrite and add the Search parameter there and it won't ever be visible.

If you are always passing the variable triplecrown when resetting the search then you can just remove the Search part and change the Database Search trigger to use triplecrown instead.

The variables change
posts_horse.php?&post_type_horse= Horse Wanted&Search=Search
http://performancehorsehotline.com/posts_horse.php?&post_type=Horses+For+Sale&Search=Search
posts_horse.php?&post_type_horse= Horse Wanted/
posts_horse.php?&post_type_horse= For Sale/

and for the htaccess ?
RewriteRule ^posts_horse/?$ posts_horse.php [NC,L] # Handle requests for "posts_horse"
I sitll want to be able to display the text Wanted or For Sale, I am looking for a rule to simply state on all searched records display / in place of &Search=Search
And of course we still need the previous search to be cleared.

Please attach a copy of the posts_horse.php page. I think I'd still use the trigger rather than .htaccess. I'll help you with the syntax once I have the file.
