This isn't really about pathauto, but the path module. Try disabling pathauto and then creating an alias with ? in it. It doesn't work :)

You may want to post a new question stating what you want to do in general, like

"I want to make taxonomy/term/tid page look different by overriding it with views" because that is something folks can help you solve if it's an accurate description.

Cheers,
Greg

Yes I do.. LJ.

But, views searches typically show up as query strings with strings like "?mysearch=fabulous".

How does this work even with clean urls? Bcuz these query strings are dynamically generated?

Surprisingly, on some of the other taxonomy overwriting url aliases, I have these tokens showing up properly. some don't.

so still struggling with this issue.

I sure do want clean urls, but also want to replicate views filter searches kinda paths.

hi Ben, 
have you enabled clean urls in admin/settings?

Hi,

For a particular taxonomy vocabulary, I am setting up a url alias as:

myuniquepath/spath?tag=[term-name]

e.g.
myuniquepath/spath?tag=newbie

The url shown in the alias list is fine and shows as above but when being rendered on nodes/teasers, i see %3F & %3D in the url :
myuniquepath/spath%3Ftag%3Fnewbie

Any way to avoid/overcome this? I also have set the punctuation settings in pathauto for '?' & '=' to no action.

- Ben
