hi. i am using acts\_as\_ferret for my application. when i search for  
something, and then click on the result, i have a back  
button(javascript:history.back) that should take the user back the  
listing page. however, i get the “Warning: Page has Expired”. is there a  
rails way to perform the back action?

thanks
