How can I remove the ? from:
?page=20

It's buggering up my SEO URLs. :) I already have them rewritten, but I cannot figure out how to get rid of that thing.

I suspect its on includes/classes/split_page_results.php but no matter what I remove, I seem to completely break some part of the paged URL.

Have you lloked at "Search engine friendly URLs" setting in "Configuration" settings of admin part?

If it does not help, try to ask on OSc site discussion forums -- they should know better :-)

I don't have any SEO configuration in my admin. :)
I DO use SEO Urls from the contributions, but this portion of the URLs are not rewritten, this is my own solution I've been working on.

Actually,?page=20 is not that a big problem (most SEs perfectly index such sites).

What is a problem, session ID appended to URLs for clients that do not accept cookie, something like?page=20&SID=dsffsfsdfsdfdsfdsfds

Since that SID will be different for every robot session, your site will not be indexed at all.

A OSC contribution "SID killer" makes sure no session is started for clients do not accepting cookie before it really needs to be (like product in a cart).
