Sue,
Yes, you need the entire address, including the part after the question
mark.
Don't worry about not understanding it. Jake and I don't fully understand
what the different options mean either. <Smile> We can only make an
educated guess about most of them.
It's basically a shorthand for specifying how the Advanced Search form was
filled out, though. That's why it's needed. Without the options after the
question mark Bookshare will treat it as a request for a blank form and the
system will send you the form to be filled in.
HTH
Gerald

Geralld,
Do you have to copy the search string as well? I don't understand search
strings. <smile>
