Preserving search parameters

[anonymous]

It would be useful to keep previous search parameters on return to the query page especially if only a small adjustment of search criteria is needed.

Using back button is browser-specific.

Better way would be a "refine query" button, that takes you back to the query page but with your options already selected.

David,

Can you look into this problem? The scenario is that the user enters a query, sees some results but wants to make a small adjustment to the query parameters. We'd like to be able to make this adjustment without having to set all the other parameters a second time.

I've added the code to index.php and query.php to store all the used form parameters in session data and retreive them when returning to the query form.
