I was going to do that, then realized that it required more coding which
would also slow things down.  Considering simple.php3 and advanced.php3
are getting c= via a GET it should be very simple to put it back into the
GET.  It would also require less CPU to do (scanning and splitting the
referer).  Also, if someone bookmarks a drill down search results page and
goes back to the bookmark, the referer will be different, hence different
results.
