// Use window.location to navigate to the correct URL, as you can see I have used the + sybol to append the relevant text

/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    As you can see in the above the generic EchoSign URL, the web URL where you can search and view
    users: "https://echosign.com/account/viewUsers". I have added on the end "?searchQuery=", if you
    look into the HTML of the webpage by right clicking on the text bocx and then clicking on
    "inspect element", you will see that each field has a "name", this name is what we can use in the URL
    to control what happens inside that textbox, checkbox, radion button, etc... in this case I have
    updated the searchQuery box or the text box where the user enters their search criteria and I have
    added in the users search information, once I have cleaned this up. I have also taken "hideInactive"
    which is the name of the checkbox, however, this time it follows an & symbol, this is because we have
    already added in the ? in previously so the browser knows we are "querying" the following field and
    updating it with the value that we are placing after the = symbol.
