I added a display-only field to the bottom of one of our forms that just lets you see, click, and/or copy the URL to the current request. An AL just sets a field to https://..../arsys/servlet/ViewFormServlet?form="; + $SCHEMA$) + "&server=") + $SERVER$) + "&eid=") + $Request ID$ and the field has a display type of Show URL.

This makes it very easy to share a request with someone over email, IM, etc. Now I am wondering about the same thing but for queries. If I perform a web query by making some selections using the form or in combination with the advanced query toolbar and then clicking search, is there a way to capture that qualification into a field to be used in a URL that includes the "mode=search&qual=<query here>"? This would be tremendously useful. I find myself often manually constructing these URLs to include in emails, etc. It's very tedious and error-prone. Any other suggestions are welcome.
