How to create a SEARCH link?

To help provide further assistance to your fellow enthusiasts on the forums or even if you just want to bookmark a search so you can run again and again.

To create a link to a specific search, you will need to add modifiers to the regular search link:

;query=

;creator=
author's name

;disp=
T - Topic Titles (Return a thread listing, faster)
P - Post Bodies (Return a post listing, slower)

;arch=
0 - Recent content
1 - Archived content
