Thanks Ed, that makes sense.  I guess I assumed that since a page can
handle multiple in page searches that IC had a way to distinguish
between different queries in the same session and that one query would
not invalidate the other query.

I know that when I browse sites I like to open up multiple windows and
do multiple things.  I'm a bit scattered when I browse a site ;)  I'll
keep looking for a way to implement this madness without turning off
cookies.

Thanks!
