Maybe, but again the end result is more complex (and slower) queries.

You get that with radio buttons too. The only difference is that you're using javascript to generate all the different combinations. You still have to handle all the criteria on the server side. Also, the problem stands that prepopulating the search form may not be sufficient to uniquely select the item in question.

That is true, but it might be made less confusing by designing the UI such that the user is never really "lost". I think that clear navigation controls can help a lot with this.
