Is there any way to create a permanent link to the results of a Prefix Search?

The XML for the prefix search functionality uses some kind of override on a User Search when a certain string is present to search for prefixes instead. If you just input the string manually, though, (like via a do=process search to make a permanent link!) it seems to fail to execute the override correctly and returns search results of every single thread on your forum.

This has an added debilitating side effect of creating a broken searchid result, and then when you try to search for your Prefixes the proper way (through the dropdown box) it doesn't make it to the override because it sees the search has already been done recently and pulls up the result with every thread on your forum.

I don't have the slightest clue about editting any of the XML or anything, but it's starting to seem like creating a permanent do=process link to Prefix Search results isn't possible with how it's currently written.
