Well, we had serveral such ideas in the past (like displaying the last search term in the search box, and defaulting the selection), but this does not play nicely with caching. To make php.net pages display faster on the users' desktops and get off some load from the servers, nearly all of our pages are somehow set to be cached by public caches. Therefore if we default the search form or put there the last search term, you will probably get a cached page with some other users last action there, or we need to turn of caching, which would make a high load increase to our servers. So I cannot see a good solution to select the last thing, maybe with JS and cookies, but this is really not a high priority... Goba
