Navigating back to Super Search results page

winXP, FF 1.5.0.3

If I want to return to a Super Search results page via the back button I get a "The page you are trying to view contains POSTDATA that has expired..." diologue box. Am I right in thinking that clicking "OK" forces another search? I feel I should avoid doing that. I've been ctrl clicking links to open a new tab and then returning to the tab with the results. Is this necessary? How do other monks use Super Search?

I use it by using my middle button which opens the link in another tab. Way faster than going back and forth. Mind you, that's how I use Newest Nodes, too.	[reply]

You're in serious need of Mozilla Firefox and the wonders of Tabbed Browsing. Open your search results in a new tab, and you avoid messing up your search until you're really done with it, at which time you just close its tab. Dave	[reply]

The FF was meant to indicate Firefox and I mentioned "open a new tab". :-) Thanks for your response though, it seems this is the way to go.	[reply]

I'm pretty sure there's an open bug for FF concerning that behaviour, though I can't immediately find the number. It basically states that pressing the back button should always serve the cached results, not make a new request to the old URL. (OT) There even used to be a similar issue with "view source", where even that would cause a new request of your current page. Which could result in things like double posts and the like.	[reply]
