asked on IIS 10 - URL Rewrite Rule for Search Query, not working?
(The development is done in ASP Classic (VB), in case I need to do something within the code.)
In the website, our search string is displayed as such.
Main.asp?Type=Results&Submit=Search& Term=KISS& Cat=3
Our URL Rewrite is this.
Pattern: Search/([_0-9a-z-(-)-,-]+)/([_0-9a-z -(-)-,-]+)
Rewrite URL: Main.asp?Type=Results&Submit=Search& Term={R:1} &Cat={R:2}
Screenshot of the RULE
How can I make the Search Query work, so that when you click search, it rewrites the URL to this?
Search/KISS/3
Thanks.

When I click search, the URL does not get re-written.
It stays with the same URL
Main.asp?Type=Results&Submit=Search&Term=KISS&Cat=3
Here is the search box.
<form action="//192.168.2.12/Main.asp">
<input type="hidden" name="Type" value="Results">
<table style="text-align:left; vertical-align:top;">
<tbody><tr>
<td style="border:1px #000000 dotted; font-size:12px;">Search<br />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search" tabindex="3">
<input name="Term" type="text" tabindex="1" width="200" value="KISS" onBlur="javascript:if (this.value == '') this.value = 'Search';" onFocus="javascript:if (this.value == 'Search') this.value='';">
<br />
<select class="FormUnits" name="Cat" tabindex="2">
<option value="3">Artist</option>
</select>
</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</form>
When I click search, the URL does not get re-written.
It stays with the same URL
Main.asp?Type=Results&Submit=Search& Term=KISS& Cat=3
I think you need to edit the HTML instead. Can you share us the source code of your form's action? or click event ?
Well, I do not like how the new CODE block works on EE.
It messed everything up, which is the reason for posting the code the way I just had to do.
As always, Ryan you are the best, my friend.
Have a-Rockin' week.

Worked great, just had to add in a replace in it, and works like a champ.
(See below)
.replace(/ /g,"_")
Have to remove the spaces from between the words typed in.
Love it, works great!!!
what's the exact issue you're facing right now?
if you mean to change form posting action URL based on user's inputs?
