[ic] filtering search results or refining results or searching within results

[Jeff Dafoe]

Hello,

 When on the results page, I want to be able to refine the current search by
adding additional search parameters to the current search and then reissuing
this new, more qualified search.  The issue I am having is that I cannot
determine what the proper way to retrieve the current (complex) search
parameters from the results page is.  Any insight would be great, even if it
is just the vaguest of pointers, like "it's contained in this data structure
and you will have to rebuild the query string yourself" or "look at the code
in blah blah" or something.

 I can think of a couple of ways of doing it but I wanted to see if there
was some sort of "proper" method one would use when accessing the complex
search parameters from a results page before I go hacking something
together.


Thanks,
Jeff
