Bookmarking translation/request search results (and profile pages)

I think it could be useful to be able to bookmark the results of an advanced search on translations or requests.

That would allow to point someone to whatever subset of translations or requests you want to discuss.
For instance you could send a PM with "would you care to check these translations?", and the recipient could follow the link and be brought to the proper query result immediately.

That would also allow to bookmark any specific query, like "all French->Russian pending requests", "all Faroese->Gaulish translations" or "all Beatles song".

If the system is extended to profile pages, you could also, for instance, check in a click your pending translation requests or latest feedbacks, and also maintain a kind of rudimentary "friend list" by bookmarking whomever profile page you like.

Adding a "copy URL" or "bookmark this page" button at a few strategic locations would make the system easy to use even for non-computer freaks.

For now, the URL of the result page does not contain the parameters of the query. Even if you copy the contents of the address bar, it's useless because the link would not allow to access the same query results.
On the technical side of things, I am well aware that software modifications are never as easy as they seem, but the change does not seem completely out of reach to me (using HTML get instead of post for the queries, basically).

Just in case that would be deemed useful and feasible...

The search subsystem uses 'get' mechanism, so it is easy to bookmark query results.
Here’s French-Russian pending requests
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/requests/22/40/none/none
Faroese-Gaulish translations:
(surpisingly, none of them. Anyone?)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/requests/437/860/none/none

perhaps we didn't get your point...

As to bookmark feature, it is a good idea. We'll consider adding 'friends lists' and 'favorite translation' list, so users will be able to 'bookmark' users and translations easily. Such a feature will receive a warm welcome from community.
