Yeah, there's really no reason it needs to set a cookie right now.  
But... I'm thinking there may be a need in the future for session  
storage and that will require cookies.

Regarding linking to a given search, I'm pretty sure I don't  
understand... do you mean like a permalink to a given result set?

Programmer decision :) I decided to make a blank field equal to * and  
only show 25 results at a time. Again, I had to take a stab at it, and  
that was my initial take.

Thanks. I was totally blown away by what I learned by spielunking the  
gems just a little with this search. I hope it's as much fun for  
others as it is for me.

Please let me know if you have other thoughts on this.
