You don't give any details about how your code is implemented (formula language, LotusScript, etc) but the following should work with minimal change from your existing logic flow:...

  1. Store the search parameters as fields in a profile document having an appropriate profile "key" value.
  2. In the URL, specify the profile document's key value, rather than the search parameters themselves.
  3. Finally, using the key value in the URL retrieve the profile document and get the values of the search parameters from it.

Alternatively you could use a frameset. This will hide the url from the address bar but it would still be available if the user (or developer) wanted to see it.
