It requires a little bit more work, but you can specify that your AJAX queries be GET.
See:
[http://www.mnot.net/blog/2006/08/14/webizing_ajax](http://www.mnot.net/blog/2006/08/14/webizing_ajax)
for a description of the javascript.
Within rails, you probably want the :method parameter, eg.
form_remote_tag :method => 'get'
