Grant suggested using [Searchstring] as a parameter instead of listing them out, but when I looked into the webstar admin log, the data was being passed differently from what the search context on the results page required (resulting in 0 item(s) found), so I modified it to match what the search template sends to get the same data sent both times.[shownext position=begin&max=1&method=POST]
