By including variable arguments in the I-FIND URL, you can affect the "default" options I-FIND initializes when you start the program.

Here are some examples. You will need to find the correct address for "localhost/ifind-bin".

turn Library Only switch on
http://localhost/ifind-bin/ifind-web.pl?LibOnly=ON

sets item type filter to "DRAWING"
http://localhost/ifind-bin/ifind-web.pl?ItemType=DRAWING

sets item state filter to "RELEASE"
http://localhost/ifind-bin/ifind-web.pl?StateFilter=RELEASE

all of above
http://localhost/ifind-bin/ifind-web.pl?LibOnly=ON&ItemType=DRAWING&StateFilter=RELEASE

In addition, you can use URL's to preload searches. For instance you can create a web page or E-mail a link which directs the reader to I-FIND with pre-determined search results. Some examples are listed below.
