back button for search results

Post by hame22 »

Hi

within my website I have built my own customised search engine, which works great.

The trouble is that when a user clicks on one of the results, they cannot navigate back to the results again, instead have to re-key in their search terms.

Is there a way/function to combat this??

thanks in advance

Store their search specifications in a session/cookie and let your "display results" page check if there are such specifications available...
