Need To Be Able To Link Back To A Permanent Search Result Url

[MikeSchultz]

Greetings, I need to be able to hyperlink back to a search result but find the URL results disappear by the next day - instead taking me back to the search form. In other words, I perform a search, the result comes up and I copy the URL of the result hyperlink it from another webpage. But when clicking on the saved URL the following day, it takes me back to the search form, not the previous result URL that was hyperlinked. Hope I'm making that too confusing I can't seem to find what I'm overlooking to overcome this. Thanks

Make the search and results pages separate data pages (see help topic). Then, your hyperlink will be the results data page with a query string that passes the parameters into the data page. For example:

 

http://b6.caspio.com/dp.asp?AppKey=...&Parameter1=Something&Parameter2=Something

 

For more info on query strings, see this help topic.

 

Hope this helps!
