The problem is that c:url produces a link, not a form submit. You cannot
capture the value entered into a text field and include it as a link
parameter, except by writing some Javascript.
When I wrote this reply I got an impression that Caroline submits the
form first, then she displays the page with JSTL tags where she wants
to use submitted searchFirstName. But looks like this is not true, and
my first understanding about what she wanted to do (submitting the
form, generating URL on the fly) was in fact a correct one.
