Need to sent onclick event string var from hyperlink to javascript event function(e)?

Can someone tell me how i can sent a string from an onclick event to the searchfunction? onclick="SearchFunction("mystring"); -->This doesnt works.

$(document).ready(function() { 
        var SearchFunction = function(e) {
            searchwords=$("#q").val();
             STR=??? -->Needs to get the string from the o开发者_StackOverflow社区nclick hyperlink.

        };
        $("#q").keyup(SearchFunction);
    });

$(this).text() should do it.
