After following the dynamic filters tutorial, I successfully created a search form. The pagination is not working properly. When clicking to go to another page the search form criteria disappears. I found one other post in the forms that describes this problem (from 2009), but no solution. I am sure I am missing some little thing, but I cannot figure it out! I am using my search form with form tags enabled as identified in the tutorial. I am using version 2R3 with Joonla 1.5.22.
Thank you!
