Search query not preserved on logout

[hjek]

When logged into News and doing a search, and then from the search results page pressing "logout", the search query disappears, e.g. the URL changes from being /search?q="something" to just /search. This doesn't happen with other pages, e.g. when logging out from threads?id=someone, the query string remains.

Must be something I implemented wrong in the search page...

Here's a fix for it. Turns out here was not being set correctly.

A slightly related thing is, that I wonder how to pre-fill the search bar with the previous search query. It would seem only possible to do by modifying tons of unrelated page functions to pass around search arguments, which would be proper spaghetti.

I wonder if there is some obvious way of dealing with this.

Ah, ok, it's not that complicated anyway. Yay, global variables!
