- Madre 14y agoHow possible is it to perform a POST within a GET request?
- robinh 14y agoThat was what I was trying to ask: can you do both, or would that be absurdly impractical/impossible? Alternatively, can't they do only a POST and somehow generate URLs dynamically based on the search query?
- candybar 14y agoGratuitous use of POST breaks the back button.
- sturadnidge 14y agoI presume robinh means why not set all those additional params when the search form is posted rather than the initial get. EDIT: Ok the follow up comment doesn't indicate that... but it would be just as valid to do it that way if they are indeed search modifiers.
- mtrimpe 14y agoIt's perfectly possible to POST to a URL with GET query parameters. For Google though I'm not sure you'd want POST requests at all; unless it's to set cookies and do a redirect on POST.
