OK.  Thanks.

I hadn't thought it through this far, but I was looking for automatic 
creation of such links, such as provided through the "how to make a 
bookmark" link.  I assume you created your sample link manually?

A search such as your sample link looks easy enough to construct.  I am 
not sure it would be immediately obvious to me what the query would be 
for more advanced searches such as including a quoted phrase, using the 
site: qualifier, etc.  So it would still be nice to have a way to 
automatically create them such as Scroogle provides for plain http.  Not 
just for more complicated searches but also for even simple searches by 
people who are less computer conversant.

P.S.  I concur that using POST by default is a good thing!  :-)  But 
"bookmarks" are occasionally useful also.  (I've needed those maybe two 
or three times a year.)
