AngularJS $location.path adding #!/ before url

Question

I'm trying to use AngularJS $location to set the browser's url, like this:

$location.path("/post").search({
    id: post.id
});

but whenever I do the url gets set like http://localhost:5000/#!/post?id=0 instead of http://localhost:5000/post?id=0

Is there any reason the #!/ shows up?

Your answer was helpful but only removed the ! from the url so it would read /#/post which wasn't what I was looking for. — Peter Flanagan

In app config you should use

$locationProvider.html5Mode(true)

If you want to remove this prefix, add this code to your config:

appModule.config(['$locationProvider', function($locationProvider) {
  $locationProvider.hashPrefix('');
}]);
