Chris' suggestion sounds allright.
Depending on how you do the search depends on what you will want to do (to a
certain degree)
you might be able to store the search criteria in the url
search.php?start=10&search=php%20general&subsearch1=search&subsearch2=logic
$results = "query results from {$_GET['search']}";
//then you could loop thru it
$i=1;
$subsearch == true;
while($subsearch == true){
if(isset($_GET['subsearch' . $i])){
$results = "subquery results";
}else{
$subsearch = false;
}
$i++;
}
just a concept, but it can work :)
