Need some help on search

Problem: If I place a keyword in a search on main pages it only allows me to search for one keyword at a time. I can only put ex. "mazda", but if I put "mazda, 2005" it would show nothing. That is as far as the main page.
Not Complete Solution: I would solve that problem on a search page and it works if I input 3 different things on separate fields. Great feature btw. Results show ok but I can't see the actual link in the address bar that initiated that search. The reason is that for some searchable web link I would simply just put that database search link and automatically show the resullts.

Detailed example: I write on a normal web page "Top Line Mazda". I make it into a link. Once the link is clicked it would actually show a database of all mazdas that are made in "2007" with "300hp" and collor "blue". The way I would do it is to place the whole link with those 3 searchable options embedded in it. [color=#FF0000]How can I do that? I know it is possible through an action of a simple link. I am not very profficient in database but very good with web.
If you guys can't help me on that is there any way possible to search 2 keywords on a main page that would bring back the results.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I really appreciate it.
Sincerely,

Hi,
open generated templates\..._search.htm file with a text editor, find this line there:

<form method="POST" ...



and replace POST with GET
Browse your pages, run Advanced search and you'll see a URL you need in address box.
After you save this URL you can change GET back to POST.
