I am a wondering if there is a recommended "best practice" for a product search SEO. I know to create a dynamic sitemap file that lists links to all products in the site. However, I want to implement a a bookmark-able "advanced search". Should I let search engines index any of the results? Take the following parameters for a search on a make believe used car website:
- minprice (minimum price in dollars)
- maxprice (maximum price in dollars)
- make (honda, audi, volvo)
- model (accord, A4, S40)
- minyear (minimum model year)
- maxyear (maximum model year)
- minmileage (minimum mileage)
- maxmileage (maximum mileage)
Given these parameters, there could be an infinite number of search combinations:
- Price Between $10,000 and $20,000
- /search?minprice=10000&maxprice&20000
- Audis with less than 50k miles
- /search?model=audi&maxmileage=50000
- More than 100,000 miles and less than $5,000
- /search?minmileage=100000&maxprice=5000
- etc.
Over time, there may be inbound links to a variety of these types of searches, yet they are all slices of the same data. Should I allow for all of these searches to be indexed?
