Notice the query variable in the URL is called "encquery". This may stand for "encrypted query". If that is the case then that hex string could very well be the search parameter "americanpitbull", just encrypted. It is not ISO-8859-1 encoding, though. I can see how AOL would want to used encrypted search paramaters so that no one can just insert their own queries and leverage their search engine.

Ok, I'm taking back any and all comments I made on code. I don't understand it at all.

No one else over at TS seem to be able to get AmericanPitBulls out of that code either. I don't think you can.
