As I've said several times recently, this will be "fixed", so adding "go=Search" to your URLs will be ignored fairly soon anyway so don't bother. If you want to have the search done, then you need to POST, either from the Super Search page or by creating your own form, such as in your Free Nodelet (or via javascript in your Free Nodelet). Such a form need not have any input fields, just a submit button (with "hidden" items to set parameters you want to use).

But there is a point and even value in allowing people to more easily set up their own searches that don't require first loading the Super Search page. Personally, I have long ago become too exasperated with the randomness I've found in every browser when it decides whether to just fetch a page from the cache without reloading it from the site. So I've set the browser that I most use with PerlMonks to "Never" check whether a page from its cache needs to be refreshed, which means that if I created a canned Super Search link, it wouldn't actually connect to PerlMonks except the first time I used it (or after it had been quite a long time since I last used it). But most people don't have such a configuration (and for some good reasons).

Meh, I foresee too much potential for problems from willy nilly links kicking off super searches every time that anyone clicks them, and yet I'd like for people to be able to easily set up links for their own use that skip loading the Super Search page (though you shouldn't make all of your links kick off the search, as the oportunity to adjust the search before kicking it off can often be important). The obvious hack is to require "go=tye" and then such a link only auto-starts for me, but that's rather hackish.

Anyway, I'm going to bed. Good job. I'll likely kill you in the morning. Er, I mean: I'll likely "fix" Super Search so "go=Search" in a GET request URL is ignored soon enough, so don't get too used to it working.
