gatsby-plugin-canonical-urls query params and hash

[MarkSalabutin]

Could you let me know why you added location.hash and location.search to canonical url? I faced with a problem that search engines treat pages example.com/page and example.com/page?search=query as different, but in practice, they are the same.

From what I understand location.hash is ignored by most search engines and location.search should be included because its values often represent unique pages.

[MarkSalabutin]

But what about cases when location.search don't represent unique page? For example, fbclid which facebook add to every external link. If canonical URL includes that parameter search engine will treat this URL as a different page.

@MarkSalabutin That’s a fair. We could add options to configure this, I suppose. Would you like to pick this up?
