[lug] How do you do this? Appending stuff to URLs

[Jeffrey Haemer]

I do Amazon Prime.  My typical process is

(a) Search Amazon for what I want.
(b) Find what I want, and wish that I could now look at just the stuff
eligible for Amazon Prime.

I looked a little and found two kinds of solutions.
(1) several mashups that search only in Amazon Prime
(2) one guy, who said, "Just add '&AURIFAFG80JKRQUI' to your search, once
you have a search that works."  That's not the actual string -- I have it
stashed away on a different box that's not handy.

The first solution seems great, but doesn't work.  They don't find stuff,
display things funny, and generally lack functionality I want.  Amazon turns
out to be the right tool for searching Amazon -- at least, for me.

The second one, amazingly, does, except it requires I stash the string in a
text file, and then remember to cut-and-paste it.

Is there an easy, nice, point-and-click solution to this?  No, I'm not
willing to spend the time on this to write XUL or do a bunch of other
hacking.  Cut-and-paste is easier.
Plus, my artist sisters, with whom I share a membership, need to be able to
do this stuff, too.

If, however, you had something like a bookmarklet that I could easily hack
into "append 'Restrict to Amazon Prime' to my current URL," I'd snap it up.

Or can you suggest something else that's easy and sister-friendly?
