I have a search page published in a cms that locates database driven pages hosted in but not managed by the cms.
The search form consists of a number of different buttons and dropdowns. It works with a postback.

In the results listing, there are links to the resulting pages.

Is it possible (without changing from postback to a GET form) to make the back button work in IE such that I can click one of the result items and then get back to the result listing?
Currently when I click back I get the “Web page has expired”.
Is it possible to do something smart with headers or redirects? I want to be able to history back to the search result in IE 8 and 9.

    No, you will need to follow a POST-REDIRECT-GET pattern instead.

    See:
