problem with repeat form posting

pardon me, I must be drinkin' heavily from the retard juice today.
I've built a search form on the site. It works real good like. BUT, if you navigate to any other page and then try to go BACK to your search results, you get that nasty "resubmit form data?" prompt. It's bad and I want it to die.
I knew the solution to this problem two weeks ago; now I can't seem to remember a thing. Sigh.

Yes. What are the other effects of using that? Any?

No sideeffects that I know of.
"You forgot to fill this in, please press this link to go back and..."-links works. Not using this, would likely reset all elements in the form when pressing the back button (or javascript history-1).

Hmm. I put it in. No change in behavior.

I must have been drinking the same as you, because I have no clue then... 2 weeks ago? Searched the forum? Could be hidden here somewhere...

I searched, didn't find anything particularly relevant. But then again, people around here often don't name their threads anything meaningful.
I'm really not even sure I was reading about the problem on this board... it could have been anywhere. I really wasn't in a programming mindset today. I guess it's google-hell time.

Still have not really found a solution to this problem. It puzzles me why Moz ignores it completely. Otherwise, I'd accept it as a security feature and move on.
Anyway, it seems like maybe the best thing is to rewrite the form to use GET instead? Grrr.

Well that was pretty easy. Onward and upward...
