Live searches need permalinks

Quite often I want to link to search results on someone’s site. Yet, since everyone and their grandmother is now switching to Ajax-enabled Live searching, there is no real easy way to do this.

I see this as a minor issue, but a problem nonetheless. If you, or anyone you know, uses an Ajax-enabled Live Search on their site, please make a way to link to the search results. Imagine if Google made an Ajax-only Live search and you couldn’t link to the search results! It would definitely become a much larger issue than it is currently.
