Hey guys, someone made a genius post a while back about ISAPI rewrite (I believe it was Sean? Could be wrong - can't find original post now).

Anyways, I applied it to my site and after a couple modifications everything was working fine.

However, the categorysearchfields were being messed up because isapi rewrite was encoding pipe ( | ) characters into %307C or something.

Anyways, the way to fix it is to add a NE flag to the redirect rule in isapi rewrites httpd.ini (or whatever ini file it is).

Here's the code:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Permanently redirect all pages that were using sub-directories:
RewriteRule ^store/pc/(.*)$ $1 [NE,NC,R=301,L]
---------------------------------------------------------------------

You'll see that line has NE flag in it now, I assume this means no encoding(?). Anyways, if you're someone who has applied this with the original post's http.ini config info, then you might have ran into the same problem I did with pipes not decoding correctly.

The solution is simply to add the NE flag to your redirect rules. Hope this saves someone else some time.
