It would, but the purpose of going back to the search page would be to
do something else, so the API still has to be loaded sometime.

It would help to see what you're doing. If your results pages are
coming from your *own* site, then AJAX (preferably) or iframes is
definitely the way to go, since you have control over the output. If
your search results go off to someone else's site, then perhaps
displaying the result in a new window will do: your map doesn't get
unloaded at all.

Note too that when you use the Back button, your page may get reloaded
from scratch, and if the map has been moved that won't be reflected in
the revisited page.
