How to Bookmark Search Results

I know there must be an obvious answer, but I can't see it.

I have a search form that passes form variables.  Is there a way for the end-user to bookmark the results page since the variables are not in the url?

    Not really.  Generally the best practice for any search form is to always use method="get" instead of method="post". This way the search results URL can be bookmarked, emailed, etc.

    I had no idea the difference in post and get.  Thank you!  It worked.

    I had always defaulted to method=post from CF6 days.
