Hi list,

When a customer buys an item from the results page after using the form
based search, I would like to return to the results page of the last search
specs. When a customer uses the form based search and buys a product, it
currently returns to either the last one-click search or the index page (if
no previous one-click search exists). This does work nicely for one-click
searches, such as category searches found on the left side, returning the
buyer to the last results page after purchasing an item.

My search form:

<FORM ACTION="[area search]">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_searchtype VALUE=db>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_matchlimit VALUE=25>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_sort_field VALUE=category>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_sort_field VALUE=description>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE="description">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE="title">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE="comment">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE="sku">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_column_op VALUE=rm>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_substring_match VALUE=1>
<INPUT MAXLENGTH=30 NAME=mv_searchspec type=text size=10>

And this is set on the results page:

[set munge_quantity]
[calc]
[snip some code]
[/calc]
    [bounce href="[history-scan find='scan/' default=index]"]
[/set]

[on-match]
<FORM ACTION="[area nothing]" METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=hidden  NAME="mv_action"        VALUE="refresh">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden  NAME="mv_separate_items"  VALUE="0">
<INPUT TYPE=hidden  NAME="mv_click"        VALUE="munge_quantity">
[/on-match]

Where should I begin looking to correct this situation? I have tried:

[bounce href="[history-scan find='search/' default=index]"] #all searches go
to index

and I have tried using mv_todo actions, etc., but I am just guessing at this
point. I hope someone can point me in the right direction!

Thanks again, everyone!
