how build a wordpress query_posts based on url

I want to use the query_posts function from wordpress for displaying the right posts. I want to use the url www.site.com/?s=taxonomy1=test1&taxonomy2=test2 for building the query. something like down here: 

        $taxonomy1 = $_GET['taxonomy1'];
        $taxonomy2 = $_GET['taxonomy2'];

        query_posts(array(
            'posts_per_page' => 10,
            'taxonomy1' => $taxonomy1,
            'taxonomy2' => $taxonomy2,
        ) );>

How i do this?

the wordpress codex is your best friend when trying to build custom queries. something like this should work as a query

$taxonomy1 = $_GET['taxonomy1'];
$taxonomy2 = $_GET['taxonomy2'];

$the_query = new WP_Query(array(
  'posts_per_page' => 10,
  'tax_query' => array(
     'relation' => 'AND',
     array(
       'taxonomy' => $taxonomy1,
       'field' => 'slug',
     ),
     array(
       'taxonomy' => $taxonomy2,
       'field' => 'slug',
     ),
   ),  
));

and to display the results

while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); 
  //the_title(), the_content(), etc
endwhile;

note that the query is using the new (as of 3.1) method for querying taxonomies. As you can see it gives you a lot more flexibility and i would suggest reading through the above link
