Answer Wiki:
You don't give any details about how your code is implemented (formula language, LotusScript, etc) but the following should work with <b>minimal change from your existing logic flow</b>:... <ol> <li> Store the search parameters as fields in a profile document having an appropriate profile "key" value.</li><li> In the URL, specify the profile document's key value, rather than the search parameters themselves.</li><li> Finally, using the key value in the URL retrieve the profile document and get the values of the search parameters from it.</li> </ol>

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.
