HTTP GET url for search queries

i like to point newbies to tutorials on the site, but i'm getting tired of copying and pasting urls so many times and prettying them up with [ url ] tags.

is there a way i can just link to a tutorial search?

e.g. http://www.codewalkers.com/search.php?area=tutorials&?terms=whatever

I'll work something up for you..

thanks!

In the search, when you select 'Forum' in drop down it submits the form in GET method... but in 'Code' and 'Tutorials' it works in POST method... cool stuff!!!

Actually, it does it all in POST...the page it POSTs to then in turn does the GET request for the forum....

it seems like i am never satisfied. sorry.

this is a work in progress right?
my primary concern in the first place was linking to tutorial searches :p

OK..now you can use:

http://codewalkers.com/search.php?area=tutorials&terms=XML

or:

http://codewalkers.com/search.php?area=code&terms=XML

or:

http://codewalkers.com/search.php?area=forums&terms=XML


Even better though...there is now a [ search = tutorials ]Search Terms[ / search ]

tag...of course the extra spaces need to go away..I'm just using them to show you the tags...it ends up looking like:

this: [search=tutorials]Search Terms[/search]

Wonderful!!! Works great!

Oh...and for the search=blah you can put in :

code
tutorials
forums

for the blah...

i'm impressed.

thanks.
