``method`` : ``GET`` | ``POST``

advantage with some WEB browsers that the history is not easy to read, but
there are also various disadvantages that sometimes severely restrict the ease
of use for the user (e.g. back button to jump back to the previous search
page and drag & drop of search term to new tabs do not work as expected).
