I am not sure why you need to translate the query part of the URI because Nutch handles them just fine.
I am also not sure what you mean about search engines having problems with database content. If it is text then the search engine can index it if we can give it to them in a sensible fashion ie HTML. My own site has over 23,000 jobs in it and they are all in a database and Google, MSN, Yahoo and various others index them regularly.
If you have data in a database then the way I have done it in the past is use Apache’s mod_rewrite module to mangle the url so that the user (Nutch) gets what apears to be a static page but its actually a page from the database. It is not normally required though.
Hope this was some help.

Search engines can have problems with database content. I intend to translate the urls to avoid ‘?’ and ‘&’ etc. Any comments would be gratefully received
thanks
