I have a site that has a search which I implemented the ez\_where  
plugin. I am trying to figure out the best way to go from a detailed  
view back to the search results. I have two possible ways that I can  
think of doing this, but was hoping that someone else might have a  
better idea. My first way would be the cheap and dirty way, using the  
javascript go back 1 function. The second way would be to store the  
search information in session and over writing the search params if a  
new search was made. Right now I’m leaning towards putting the search  
params in session, but have a funny feeling that there is a better way  
to do this.
