You're in luck -- that's the way browsers work; a 'GET' request
has all form name/value pairs appended as a 'query string' :-)

<form method="get" action="http://www.google.com/search";>
<input type="hidden" name="hl" value="sv"/>
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8"/>
<input type="hidden" name="oe" value="UTF-8"/>
<input type="text" name="q"/>
<input type="submit"/>
</form>

In other words, the above form will do exactly what you describe.

HTH!
