| Making a search page. POST, GET, TOKEN? |

Hello, I'm trying to make a search page and I was wondering what would be the best approach for this. At the moment, I save search filters to a session and use them when doing queries. The thing is, although I haven't given it much thought, I'd probably like for users to be able to send and bookmark links. What do you guys think I do? GET would probably work but I might end up with a very long url like: Quote:http://localhost/search/gallery/1/?price...5-84-87-23 and so forth.. I came across this page, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29747...089#298089 which talks about using Tokens. A system similar to TinyURL's where fields/parameters are saved and retrieved from the DB using a token before making the actual 'search' query. What do you guys think? Would it slow down my search pages too much, having to - SELECT fields using token - SELECT results - SELECT count for pagination if changing filters: - INSERT fields using token - SELECT results - SELECT count for pagination Please let me know what you think. Thanks in advance, RS71 |
