I have a search form on nearly every page in a site. Some of those
pages are the top nav page in a two row frameset, some are stand-alone
pages. The search results should all open in the lower frame of the
existing two row frameset -- ie, the lower page which before was
something_else.cfm will now be results.cfm.

I know how to dynamically populate the source for the lower frame
using a URL variable. But if the action of my form is to call
frameset.cfm, how can the lower results.cfm page make use of the
variables passed by the form? -- in other words, it's the frameset.cfm
which is being called not the results.cfm page.

Is the solution simply to save the search variables to the session
scope and then use those session variables in the query to be executed
inside the results.cfm page?

Does that make the most sense for this scenario?

Thanks.
