This was my intent once certain controls started to become more standard.

The search method should be able to create the right controls to send.

But in some cases you need the controls returned from the previous search.

For example with paged the server will return a control with a cookie.

You should use this cookie in requesting the next page.


Also in answer to your previous question, this cookie is unset when the
current result is the last page. See rfc2696
