    Hello, I don’t want search parameters to show up in the URL because it causes FB pixel data violations. I added code that hides the search parameters but that didn’t fix it. I also went through my theme files and changed method=”get” to method=”post” but it didn’t change a thing. Speedy support would be highly appreciated!

    Passing query variable via a get request for search is standard practice, this is even how WordPress processes search requests. Sorry but there is not a way to make this change. About the only solution I can think of if you do not want get requests is to remove the search.

    From what I know, you can use a different method and still have the search function but without the parameters being stored/displayed in the URL. Please correct me if I’m wrong.

    Sorry, but I can not make this change. It’s a standard accepted practice and the expected behavior. As very popular examples… When doing a web search, it places the keywords/phrase as a query variable. The same applies when searching a WordPress site.

    As I mentioned, the only way I can think of is to remove the ability to search the directory from users so you will not have query variables.
