manipulate/change a database.
Some say use POST to quasi-hide parameters.

Generally speaking you should only use POST when submitting a for which will
update any type of data. An update form will therefore have two methods -
GET, which will retrieve the existing data and display it ready for the
user's changes, and POST which will accept the user's changes and process
them.
The GET method is typically used where you want to give the user the ability
to bookmark a page as all the relevant data is held in the URL and does not
rely on an existing session on the server. It is therefore not possible to
bookmark a request which uses the POST method.
HTH.

I use:
post: for all actions that manipulate data stored on the server
get: for all actions that query information from the server, a
site-wide search for example

Agreed.
Use GET for search results our your products so that your users can
email links to each other and buy more!

Yes. Use GET for idempotent operations.
So sayeth the standard:

I don't really see what this buys you. They're not hidden, and POST differs
from GET in other ways.
Although if you have the mother of all search forms, you might hit the browser
limits on the length of GET URIs (somewhere from 512-1024 bytes IIRC), whereas
POST has much larger limits. Would have to be one hefty form though; I've got
one at work for a bug database search that densely fills a decent sized window,
and it still doesn't get near the limits.

Agree. Typically I don't output anything on a POST request. After processing
the submitted data I redirect to a GET. Makes it easier to test. When the
data reappears on the form, I know it was correctly saved. Also get rid of
the annoying repost message.
The only exception I say would be a login form, which should always be
posted.

Not a big issue but it would be annoying to have to incorporate

The standard library seems to have everything lower-cased while a lot of
