hi,
I am working on the finder module. it uses the search module of drupal. the results have as path url to the node always:

/?q=/content/result-node

or

/search/content/result-node

how I can call a hook or alter the search module that it does not return the url with the strings "/?q=" or "/search" ????

The only way to turn off ?q=_____ is to turn on clean URLs.

I don't think you can get rid of 'search'. The reason I say this is that the element after the search/ is the wildcard. This is what Drupal passes to the search function. However, Drupal doesn't allow wildcards in the first element (where the /search is). So you wouldn't be able to remove it.

...though maybe someone else can come along with an idea of how to do it.

thats why i wrote ?q= OR /search - so the hint with clean url is not new.

but can the results be altered??? I saw that the node object has in the path attribut the normal path like

/content/result-node

so but the generated content has then the /search in front. in which file that is done???? somewhere in the search module the path is taken from the node object and the "/search" string is add in front of it.
I could not find it.

has anyone an idea???

In Drupal 6.20, the code that generates the path is in modules/search/search.modules, line 168:

/**
 * Implementation of hook_menu().
 */
function search_menu() {
  $items['search'] = array( // This is line 168
    'title' => 'Search',
    'page callback' => 'search_view',
    'access arguments' => array('search content'),
    'type' => MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM,
    'file' => 'search.pages.inc',
  );
