Hi,
Can search engines index dynamic sites with question marks and equal signs (query strings) in the URL?

no, they find indexing dynamic sites difficult. That said, they d index forums pretty well and they have a ? in the url usually.

They can index such sites, but discourage use of too many variables in the URL. My guess is that they cut it off after a certain number of variables. But that's just a guess.

Google specifically discourages using generic variable names in the URL like "id."

they can index any dynamic pages without a problem ... However, don't do it because... you will have all kind of problems wtih good rankings, and the pagerank won't pass ...
BY the way never buy links like site.com/page.php?query=Query

My latest domain is an SMF forum with no website. I'm struggling to get Google to spider my dynamic urls. I can't use apache mod rewrite to rewrite ? & so I'm kinda stuck.

Yahoo doesnt seem tp have a problem with it.
