Didn't work.  I'm trying to do this via GET, i.e.:

http://host/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=map/config.map&mode=querymap&img.x=291&i
mg.y=184&imgext=-86.82379248688089%2042.77901146125532%20-80.82379248631
712%2046.52901146160768&qlayer=man_OHMI&buffer=20&savequery=true

But the result I get is:

msQueryByPoint(): Search returned no results. No matching record(s)
found. 

If I do the exact same query as OGC:WMS GetFeatureInfo, I get records
back.  So I'm guessing something in my CGI GET call is incorrect?

What I'm trying to do is, when an OGC:WMS client makes a GetFeatureInfo
request with format text/html, the HTML returned (via templates defined
in mapfile) has a small image of the features highlighted inline in the
HTML.
