Would it be possible to include the keywords of a search into the result page, or at least into the url?

Code:
Search found 123 matches
Keywords: foo AND bar


or something similar would do.

On a very productive day, i normally do some searches and leave the results open, do another search on a new page and leave results open...
so after some hours i can't remember what i searched for the specific results page.

just a thought. ;)

hm. didn't thought about the phpBB team adding this feature generally, but just for gentoo forums..

shouldn't be much work, I will look into into it if I find some spare time.

searched on phpBB.com for something equal, but couldn't find anything.

Very few things are implemented here if phpbb isn't doing it. Maintenance can be a pain during version upgrades.

One thing I have noticed on various phpbb based forums is that within the last few months, the search engine has changed for the worse.

For example, I can't type version numbers like "2.5.72" into the search box and get a list of posts containing that string. I can no longer get any results for multi-word strings either like "this is a test". No matter what I type, I either get 'no matches' or I get several hundered irrelevant posts. Its very frustrating searching the forums like this.
