    Is it not possible to use the GET form method to generate links to search queries, for example to list members by city and state:

    https://[domain.com]/members/?field_1_contains=Buffalo&field_2_contains=New+York

    An example of the usefulness of this is to be able to make the cities and states in a member profile into links that return search results for all members in these cities and states.

    But this appears to be impossible because the plugin’s use of the GET form method requires members to pull up an individual search result that includes a bp_profile_search number unique to that search.

    I understand that you’re trying to keep a saved search that will reappear when the member later returns to that page. I’m not sure that most users want or need such a feature, and it seems a bit too clever when it comes at the cost of the traditionally expected use of GET as above.

    This feature even leads to frustration for some users, as shown by the post immediately preceding mine:

    Is there a way to generate links to search results like the above example? If not, would you consider rolling back the saved-search feature, or enable bookmarks and links like the above that do not require a bp_profile_search parameter?
