      Search does some funky things currently.

      For example try first search from the first page or the upper search-bar located on every page (except search-itself) : https://bookbrainz.org/search?q=king

      Now try typing in "harry" in the search - it will correctly show new results, and choosing a different type (say Edition Group) will further filter the search results.

      But the link stays https://bookbrainz.org/search?q=king , neither the new search term nor any parameter for type, any page-we're-on parameter NOR that if I select "(show) 100 per page" is saved in the url, as such you literally cannot share a search result with types or specific page-numbers - they are invisible.

      It would be very much more user-friendly if these where parameters in url (see https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=king&type=artist&limit=50&method=indexed&page=4 fourth page on a 50-per-page result for artist=king )
