Yes, for the URL http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=query+string, I'd
expect it has the file name as follows:

http://www.google.com/search.jsp?hl=en&q=query+string
or
http://www.google.com/search.asp?hl=en&q=query+string

You said it doesn't need to map onto a file. You meant search no need
to be a file? search should be a file to handle the HTTP requests from
the browser. Is that correct?
