 * I’ve noticed when attempting to redirect from a url containing ?PARAMETERS the
   redirect plugin has an issue finding the properly matching URL. Is this the intended
   behavior?.
 * (ie) [http://something.com/something?456436543562342VDSdf345](http://something.com/something?456436543562342VDSdf345)
   has a problem redirecting to the move page at [http://something.com/somethingelse](http://something.com/somethingelse).
   Everything works as intended when the ?456436543562342VDSdf345 is removed from
   the URL. The issue comes from services such as Hubspot where they add their tracking
   parameter to all URL requests for call to actions.

 * Hello,
 * The plugin remove any parameters in the URL.
 * `http://something.com/something?123`
    `http://something.com/something#123`
 * In this example, `?123` & `#123` will be removed before being proceeded. There
   should be no difference in the redirection matching with or without URL parameters.
 * `http://something.com/something` should redirect to the similar post: `http://
   something.com/something-cool`.
 * `http://something.com/something?123` should do the same.
 * Just to be sure that you have no other plugins which hijack the redirection, 
   I invite you to activate the Debug Console in the plugin settings, and try to
   reach your URL with and without parameters, being logged in as an administrator.
 * If you could share a screenshot of the Debug Console for each on of them, it 
   would be great! (you can blur the non revelant parts). And if there’s no Debug
   Console, then you have something else which take care of the redirection.
 * Regards.
