Hope this helps!

It does indeed help. However, I wonder whether you casn help with a specific site. The excellent traintimes.org.uk has a very simple, bookmarkable query system of the format http://traintimes.org.uk /london /leeds /10:00 /next-tuesday /16:00 /next-wednesday

However, using the url string http://traintimes.org.uk/%s in search.htm doesn't work terribly well, as putting, f'rinstance, london/leeds in as the search string passes http://traintimes.org.uk/london%F2leeds, and the site returns a 404 error. Anyone know how to work around that?
