I was thinking to construct the search query like this:

http://unisalveo.org/foods?par1=x&par2=2

which I guess is in line with your first suggestion. I will have to look into the reasoning behind 2nd type of URL (GData). Thx for the hint!

http://unisalveo.org/foods/search_form

which you can GET for an HTML page containing a search form. Then have the form on that page use method=”get” and send the action to:

http://unisalveo.org/foods?q=search_term_goes_here

or, in a style similar to Google’s GData API, maybe the URL looks like:

http://unisalveo.org/foods/-/query/search_term_goes_here
