Ray, I recommend storing the user search preferences in a cookie. That can be easily updated via JavaScript and can also be easily ready by CF on the server side when populating subsequent search forms.
If you have a lot of search terms (I just assisted a co-worker with one with over 100 options) you may consider storing the options using bits instead of in a list or similar structure in the cookie. This can greatly reduce the data storage size but adds some complexity so only recommended if necessary.

Anyway here goes. Requirement: Users search criteria to be maintained such that when the user requests a second search then the previous search criteria will be loaded into the search page at onload. Thus the user then has to only make a few changes to re-execute the search. This eliminates the need for the user to completely fill out all of the whole search page in order to do a second search. I thought that storing these parameters in session variables at the time of submit was the best way. Any thoughts from anyone?
