In the short term, it appears I've forgotten about the "q" parameter. It takes an unencoded argument, so that's getting me where I need to go.

I'm working on a third-party system, and it's actually preventing me from sending GET requests with request bodies (since GET requests aren't supposed to have request bodies), so I can't actually use the API using that system's built-ins. I'll have to code a workaround. At some point, we should replace these GET requests with POSTed search queries I think.
