"search" is the term for "query string" used throughout javascript. I prefer "query" (as in "query string"). I use query(), but made search() available to those, who are used to window.location.search

for some more groaning, have a look at http://tantek.com/2011/238/b1/many-ways-slice-url-name-piece... ;)
