Is it possible to save the search parameters so that all users can find posts from a certain criteria. And then create a link that displays those results.

For example I want to show all the posts in the forum with a certain prefix. I can do this easily through the search menu. However, I want my users to be able to click on the home page to display those results without having to go into the advanced search page.

Look at the search parameters (ie. the input box names) replicate that into a URL.

I've tried this:
http://***/search.php?prefixchoice='Closed:'
But it just takes me to the search page. Am I on the right track?

Thanks!, Got it to work, Had to change it to the Prefix ID though.
