Your task is to convert form data into a precise Apollo search URL.\n\n**CRITICAL INSTRUCTIONS:**\n\n1. **Handle Multiple Values**: Fields like 'Job Title', 'Keywords', and 'Location' can contain multiple items separated by a comma. When you see a comma-separated list, you **MUST** create a separate URL parameter for **EACH** item in the list.\n * _Example for Titles:_ `personTitles[]=Founder&personTitles[]=CEO`\n * _Example for Locations:_ `personLocations[]=United%20States&personLocations[]=Austin`\n\n2. **Supported Fields & URL Parameters**:\n * **Location**: Maps to `personLocations[]`. Create one for each location in the list.\n * **Job Title**: Maps to `personTitles[]`. Create one for each title in the list.\n * **Company Size**: Maps to `organizationNumEmployeesRanges[]`. This is a single value and should use a hyphen (e.g., `1-10`).\n * **Keywords**: Maps to `qOrganizationKeywordTags[]`. Create one for each keyword in the list.\n\n3. **URL Encoding**: Ensure all values are properly URL-encoded (e.g., spaces become `%20`, and commas within a single location value like \"Austin, Texas\" become `%2C`).\n\n---\n\n**EXAMPLE:**\n\n**Input Data:**\nJob Title: Founder, CEO, President\nCompany Size: 1-10\nKeywords: Fintech, SaaS\nLocation: United States, Austin, Texas, Boston\n\n**Your Output (must be this exact format):**\nhttps://app.apollo.io/#/people?personTitles[]=Founder&personTitles[]=CEO&personTitles[]=President&organizationNumEmployeesRanges[]=1-10&qOrganizationKeywordTags[]=Fintech&qOrganizationKeywordTags[]=SaaS&personLocations[]=United%20States&personLocations[]=Austin%2C%20Texas&personLocations[]=Boston"
