I am working on an application which needs to work like so:

A user enters search criteria in a search form and when submit is
clicked, if any records match the criteria, the user is taken to the
first record in the results set. The user can click "Next" to go to
the next record in the result set, and "Previous" to go back to the
previous record in the result set.

I currently have a search view which applies the criteria via queryset
chaining and then returns the first and second objects from the result
set to a template which displays the first object and then provides a
link to the second one as a link to "Next". Although clicking the
"Next" link takes the user to the correct record, all the search
criteria are (of course) lost so after that the "Next" link doesn't
work properly. How would I set up the "next" link in the template, the
associated urlconf entry, and the view so that this all works
together? How do I preserve the search criteria so that the user can
navigate easily through the search results? Use query string
parameters?

I apologize if this question is elementary and/or has been answered
elsewhere. I did some searching and I couldn't find anything similar
to this particular problem.
