OpenCart SEO isnt working even with rewrite mode enabled and SEO URLs = yes
<p>I have opencart installed with ubuntu 14.04, my apache config file is:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;VirtualHost *:80&gt;
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName example.com
        ServerAlias www.example.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/
        &lt;Directory /var/www/example.com&gt;
                DirectoryIndex index.php
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
                Require all granted
        &lt;/Directory&gt;
        &lt;ifmodule mod_evasive20.c&gt;
 DOSHashTableSize 3097
 DOSPageCount 20
 DOSSiteCount 100
 DOSPageInterval 1
 DOSSiteInterval 1
 DOSBlockingPeriod 10
 DOSLogDir /var/log/mod_evasive
 #DOSWhitelist 127.0.0.1
&lt;/ifmodule&gt;
        ErrorLog /var/log/example-error.log

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.

        CustomLog /var/log/example-access.log combined
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>and my sudo vi /var/www/example.com/.htaccess is:</p>

<pre><code>Options +FollowSymlinks
Options -Indexes
&lt;FilesMatch "\.(tpl|ini|log)"&gt;
 Order deny,allow
 Deny from all
&lt;/FilesMatch&gt;
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteRule ^download/(.*) /index.php?route=error/not_found [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]
</code></pre>

<p>When i make a search on my web, am still getting the whole url like: </p>

<pre><code>http://example.com/index.php?route=product/search&amp;search=asdsa&amp;search_type=0&amp;limit=6
</code></pre>

<p>or</p>

<pre><code>http://example.com/index.php?route=information/contact
</code></pre>

<p>This should be the right installation to get an SEO friendly urls, but it's not working fine.. any help?</p>
