I can think of at least one reason to use GET instead of POST. Since the 
Query_String becomes part of the URL with a GET, future calls to the same 
page, say a search results page, would come from the browser's cache, 
provided the browser had a decent caching mechanism, instead of always 
posting to the server. Of course, this depends on the browser, but most 
these days have decent caching algorithms. Besides, is this a security 
issue, really? Both GET and POST are insecure methods of transfer.
