No, the browser isn't hiding the query part. Here are the content of two script files:
$ cat a.scrpt open location "file:///Applications/r/doc/search/index.html?q=xyz" $ cat b.scrpt open location "file:///Users/robby/Library/Racket/development/doc/search/index.html?q=xyz" Running "osascript a.scrpt" doesn't work, but running "osascript b.scrpt" does work. And by "work" I mean that in both cases the corresponding webpage is visited in Safari, but in the first case, the q parameter disappears. I tried fiddling with various things, but I don't understand what exactly is considered to be the important difference between those paths.
