Answer 1

Yes, there is.

For example, let's select Profession as "DOCTOR-PHYSICIAN" and Last Name as "HAMILTON". Click SEARCH and on the resulting page, you'll see a link named Printer Friendly View. It has got the link to the search results, which is:

http://www.idfpr.com/LicenseLookUp/printthispage.asp?page=1&pro_cde=0036&lnme=hamilton&initial=&type=NAME&checkbox=on

Now you can easily find the direct link to the search results using the above line. Just change printthispage.asp with results.asp, and you're done:

http://www.idfpr.com/LicenseLookUp/results.asp?page=1&pro_cde=0036&lnme=hamilton&initial=&type=NAME&rowcount=15&checkbox=on
