My problem is simpler and harder than that. The "if you ran the search in a second window..." is correct. Basically what I want to track is one piece of information. A number would work. I have to put that number on the page (in the form). When I leave the page for another, that second page needs to know what the number is. When it returns to the first page that number needs to get passed back so it can get it's context. The number can't be in the URL, or if it is, has to be removed immediately.

Consider pressing Control+N, I have two different contexts that need to be returned to. Something like the following:
search(5) -> Control+N -> search(6)
Now I have two searches with different contexts and the following might happen:
search(5) -> Edit(7) -> search(5)
search(6) -> Edit(8) -> search(6)

What I'm trying to figure out is how to get 5 from search to edit and then back again. If I put 5 in the URL, when I press Control+N I get 2 5's.

Also consider a web farm. If I use session, I'm going to have to move storage off to another server and slow every page down for that server.
