Can you provide more info on what you're doing with this searched word?
Highlighting?
My initial reaction is it's a dubious practice, because it relies on the
user visiting the same controller action in the next request. If they open
a page in another tab, for instance, it'd get messed up.
I'd usually favor embedding that parameter in the form for the next request
(e.g., for a search form, prepopulate the query box with the searched
word). If you want it to persist for longer, then perhaps cookie/session
storage makes more sense.

Something like that. Or even:
flash.keep[:keyword] = 'searched term'
i.e., keep the common case clean, at the expense of making the unusual case
a bit more work.
Thanks for your input. :)
