Hi Jeremy, I am still not using Ajax, but I do think that information on my search solution may be usefull to you.
When a user submits a search, I save the search criteria in the database, thus getting a unique ID for the search and for the result, which is then related to the search ID. The search ID is then stored in the session as the current search. So whenever I invoke the search method, I do the following: If no new data is submitted, then use the existing search ID. Else make a new search ID. So when I go to another page in the result, I will use the existing search ID in my pagination, thus giving a normal pagination of the result to the user. I then assume that the above or something similar is what you have to make! How about it?
