It used to be true that they couldn't, but Google changed all of that, so pretty much all of the major search engines now have to offer that or be left out. I used to use SES urls but if you're using IIS it will not log your url. It will only log up to the file name. The only way around this would be to make a custom 404 error page, and have all your calls take out an index.cfm so say you have http://something.com/index.cfm/bob/rules/when/forever to get IIS to log it right you would have to have the url be http://something.com/bob/rules/when/forever , I have no messed with this method because as I said the important search engines should index you correctly.

It was my understanding that every major spider could handle url's with '/,?,&,$,%' without any problem...
