I came across this old thread:

Basically users were looking for a way to create a search page using GET instead of post and it seems that after V3 this was no longer possible.
Here is what I'm after if anyone can help. It does not have to be a custom search but more a custom product listing.
I would like to create a page like page.php?search_term=banana (this can then be changed to something pretty with htaccess). This would return a listing of products that have 'banana' in a defined way (e.g. in Title or short description or long description or specified field).
Has anyone ever had a crack or success at any of the above?
Cheers
