 indexterm:[search URL]
 
-////[SKIP FOR NOW, WAIT FOR YAMIL]////
+When performing a search or clicking on the details links, Evergreen constructs a GET request url with the parameters of the search. The url for searches and details in Evergreen are persistent links in that they can be saved, shared and used later.
 
+Here is a basic search URL structure:
 
 
++++[hostname]+++/eg/opac/results?query=[search term]&**qtype**=keyword&fi%3Aitem_type=&**locg**=[location id]
+
+locg Parameter
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+This is the id of the search location. It is an integer and maches the id of the location the user selected in the location drop down menu.
+
+qtype Parameter
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The _qtype_ parameter in the URL represents the search type values and represent one of the following search or request types:
+
+
+* Keyword 
+* Title
+* Journal Title
+* Author
+* Subject
+* Series
+* Bib Call Number
+
+
+These match the options in the search type drop-down box.
+
+Sorting
+^^^^^^^
+
+The _sort_ parameter sorts the results on one of these criteria.
+• sort=pubdate (publication date) - chronological order
+• sort=titlesort - Alphabetical order
+• sort=authorsort - Alphabetical order on family name first
+
+To change the sort direction of the resutls, the _sort_ paremeter value has the ".descending" suffix added to it.
+
+* sort=titlesort.descending
+* sort=authorsort.descending
+* sort=pubdate.descending
+
+In the absence of the _sort_ parameter, the search results default to sorting by relevance.
