You can do it either with PRG (post redirect get) concept:
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/luciansabo/2011/08/12/post_redirect_get_design_pattern_component
http://cakedc.com/downloads/view/cakephp_search_plugin
or with write the posted form data to a session once and keep reading it
through pagination
something like:
if(!empty($this->data['User']['search_name'])) {
$this->Session->write('conditions.firstname',
$thisis->data['User']['search_name']);
}
if($this->Session->check('conditions')) {
$conditions = $this->Session->read('conditions');
} else {
$conditions = null
}
$this->paginate = array(
'recursive' => -1,
'conditions' => $conditions,
