In sherlock search plugins, you have the following element <search name="..." description="..." method="..." <======== action="..." > The method usually used is "get" but obviously, "post" should also be possible. However, if you do that, the plugin won't work at all if you use the web form to post the search (no results get displayed in the sidebar) or if you type your search into the sidebar, it will load search.netscape.com instead of the correct search enginge. Note that Netscape search is used _even_ if the default search engine is an other one (for example Google). This prevents you from using sherlock plugins for many search engines that use the post method (=> severity: major). The URL above sends you to a testcase. Plugins and a dummy search engine are available there.

Note to matt: 95+% of public search engines out there use HTTP GET... With the current architecture, there is no easy solution for providing full support for HTTP POST. Good luck! (I'd mark this bug as low severity.)
Nice to have, but don't think we'll get to this for beta1. Marking nsbeta1-, future

I made a tiny hack for gentoos mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.4-ebuild, that generates HTTP POST-requests, carrying url-encoded form-data in their body, when the "method"-field within the search plugin src-file is set to "POST". This is not very pretty, akin the rest of the search-functionality, but seems to do the job. see also: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138577
