Modify people search to illustrate how to use query params

[professor]

How do we want to document this? I don't want to clutter your page. Perhaps we put it in ruby doc and link to a web page? If we take care of the other issue, this one might go away.

We could add a single line showing the link being built (within the advanced search parameter box itself), as they keep adding filters?

Maybe we update the query string in JavaScript as filters are chosen

I was thinking of that, but wouldn't that force a page refresh when we
modify the url string?

Lets do bobs idea first, we might not need to document the query parsms as one can always look at the code.

just noticed a way of editing the existing url without refreshing the page (using HTML5 history-api) : http://warpspire.com/experiments/history-api/
