This template tag takes the current GET query, and modifies or adds the value you specify. This is great for GET-query-driven views, where you want to provide URLs which reconfigure the view somehow.

Example Usage:

{% get_string "sort_by" "date" %} returns all=your&current=get&variables=plus&sort_by=date
