I don't think it's the URL length. URL length may sometimes be an
issue, but most often only for the server; since this works in a browser
I think it may be reasonably safe to rule that out.
Cookies won't appear in the data, but they can be seen with whatever
tools your browser provides for examining cookies. However, since this
is an intermittent problem with a high success rate, I don't think this
is related to required cookies not being provided.
Have you tried other combinations of words of similar total length in
both the browser and LC? Maybe it's a specific set of words, or the way
they're URL encoded, or something else along those lines.
Can you share the full URL of an example that fails?

of the words searched for, usually 316 is the most it can get in a single
URL. I just did one with 392, and it worked in the browser, but not
LiveCode.

Could there be session info in that URL? Or perhaps the server is
expecting a cookie that the browser provides but is not provided by your
script's handling of the headers?
