I just need a simple function that will search the current url for a string (ie nature) and then will add a class to an object. I keep finding ways to search the query, but I want to search the entire url. If possible, without jQuery. If not, jQuery will work.

You can get the URL with window.location.href, and search it however you like:

var location = window.location.href;

if(location.indexOf(whatever) > -1) {

    //Do stuff

}

window.location returns a Location object, which has a property href containing the entire URL of the page.
