Maintain search form state

Hi,

I have the option ‘maintain search form state’ ticked because I want the fields to stay unless the user changes them, but they get reset once I have gone to a post then hit back to the blog results page.

E.g. on blog results page I have the filtering menu working with AJAX perfectly. When I click on one of the results (blog posts) then it stays, but then when i go back to the results overview page it has reset, is there a way to keep it all the way through?

Thanks.

The ‘back’ button on browsers often no longer retains form settings. This is a deliberate change by browser companies for security reasons. The user might be able to overrride this, but most will not. It would require you to write some custom code to create transients to store the data and then to use it. Not really practical.
