Bug Description

It would be nice to pass full text search parameters to the bookreader when it is being used in another search environment, for instance - Open Library.

1. Go to: http://dev.openlibrary.org/advanced
2. Key in "tom sawyer" in the "Search Full Text of Any Available Work" dialog box
3. Click on one of the results underneath the book title

The user is sent to the appropriate page, but the search string is not highlighted nor is the search pane populated with results.
