redirectmatch vs. redirectpermanent

treated same by google?

[rrl]

I did a redirectmatch for a site and it occurred to me that maybe it wouldn't be treated the same as a redirectpermenent. Anyone know? I'd hate to have to do a line-by-line redirect.

rrl,

The search engine will never see any of the implementaion details of your redirect(s). It will only see (or not see) a 301-Moved Permanently server header come back in response to its request. As long as your RedirectMatch does what you want - redirecting the proper URLs, that is - then you'll be fine.

HTH,
