Display "Searched For" Title Above Results
I am looking for the easiest way to parse out the url so that above my results I can clearly display what was used to return said results. In my url I have string like: …./cars?State=New+Mexico&Model=Honda&Color=Blue&Options=Sun+Roof
I would like it to display:
SEARCHED FOR NEW MEXICO | HONDA | BLUE | SUN ROOF
Sometimes the search string can be longer and sometimes shorter depending on visitors input.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

That’s a good testcase for adi_gps beta glue attribute to retrieve GET arrays (“Options” here): <txp:adi_gps glue=" | " />.

milosevic and etc:
Thanks for the response.
milosevic: your solution worked great for the drop down fields, but not the multi select. Any thoughts …
etc: I have been a little hesitant (scared) to try the adi beta because I am getting ready to roll out site and do not want any last minute gotchas since I know what I have currently works.

That’s the very problem adi_gps beta should solve; otherwise you still have this ugly etc_query solution:
<txp:variable name="Options"><txp:etc_query globals="_GET" data="{?Options||doarray($|htmlspecialchars).implode (, |$)}" markup="raw" /></txp:variable>to retrieve a multiselect. But test it carefully with only one “Option” chosen, I am not sure it will be an array in this case.
Edit: sorry, , should be replaced by | in htmlspecialchars.

Do you need to html encode before displaying to protect from XSS?
Piwik Dashboard, Google Analytics Dashboard, Minibar, Article Image Colorpicker, Admin Datepicker, Admin Google Map, Admin Colorpicker

Absolutely, and that’s what htmlspecialchars is for in etc_query snippet. But adi_gps does it automatically, so Jorge solution is safe.
