[TYPO3-dev] search form looses id

[Richard Davies]

Hi Robert,

I didn't think about the GET value being part of the action. See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1116019/submitting-a-get-form-with-query-string-params-and-hidden-params-disappear
Short answer: any GET values in an action with a method of GET may be
ignored.
