Hi Paul,

Would this be hard to implement?
On many sites spotted that users can additionally browse/search by letter ie. A (all shops listed beginning with A..)
I was thinking of adding <-- storeA --> within descriptions with HTML enabled and then search for sotreA to bring up stores beginning with A but the problem is if I list stores in multiple CATs could result in duplication. Is there a neater way of doing this?

Thx, Joe

Well page 1 of the results could be rewritten, but I can't do anything for page 2+ (except as a custom project, $50/hr, estimate 2 hours).

At Admin -> Settings -> SEO -> Other .htaccess content, use this line:
RewriteRule ^alphabetical/([a-z0-9])\.html?$ search.php?action=filter&filled=1&whichtype=links&titlecondi tion=start&titlesearch=$1

Then you can link to alphabetical/A.html, alphabetical/B.html, etc.
