Is there a way to make cherrypy apply that to a URL before searching for a handler?

Like this: http://site.mp/view/tag/sunshines is not a more 'natural' way of 'phrasing' a URL than http://site.mp/view?tag=catfish or http://site.mp/search/whatever search term (that will be translated in whatever%20search%term by a sane browser) more 'natural' than http://site.mp/search?q=whatever+search+term (borrowing from famous search site).
