What is the best way to make my site url’s search engine friendly? Currently, I have my controller in the route[default controller] = mycontroller in the route.php file. Thanks.

Hey Rick,
Well, you get SEF URLs out of the box! The first segment will map to the controller, the second to the method, and the third to any parameters. Read the User Guide for more on how CI's URLs work!

thanks Jamie:
Out of the box requires index.php . What i was asking if there is a difference if i were to use a .htaccess file compared to a using the default controller in the routes.php file.
thanks

PS The manual doesn't mention the difference between the two or if one is preferred over the other. However, I do find the manual extremely useful. It is very important to me for the search engines to be able to find and index my sites.
Thanks again for all your help. I sincerely appreciate it all.
