using something other than "query"
How to modify search.cgi so that I can call search string as x instead of query

I am not expert in perl... but still can do some modifications...
"Query_String" so that if someone uses x = SEARCHTERM;
then I can
say
query = x;

I hope this makes since.

I guess you could write a plugin that does a pre hook on the search query. All the plugin would do would be to delete x and replace it with query=value of x.

I do it all the time, I use mod_rewrite to make the change. Works seemless!

Ah, yes, that's another way of doing it too.
