hi Masi,

sounds interesting, i'm not sure how this can be handled. Storing search 
results in a session is quite easy, but how do you present this on pages ?
Storing search result in tables may be a good idea, but it sounds nearly 
same like creating cHashes for piVar-combinations.

Can you give us a deeper thought of this ?
