Interesting. So this is is the "right" way to put a standard search url out on a page, in such a way that the search url conventions are not replicated throughout the lisp code in thousands of "(format nil "~A~?~A=?A+?A..." ...) statements, and so that a change in search string conventions can be easily implemented.

Now, for a simple (?) question on the use of the URL:STANDARD-WRITE-SEARCH-INFO function: if I were to want to generate an anchor that contains search info in it,  what would be a good way to do this? It seems that the note-anchor fn is looking for a URL, but the STANDARD-WRITE-SEARCH-INFO function wants to write to a stream.
