    What is prod_groupLink a link to?  Do you have a landing page for each
category, or is it a direct search link?

    I have done this a couple of ways.  One way, we had two layers of
navigation, main category (prod_group) and subcategory (category).  As users
navigated to the landing pages for the categories and subcategories, we set
scratch variables to indicate what pages the user had passed through.
    Another way I have done this is by taking apart the last search and
looking at the prod_group and category search values.
