User Case

The user has searched or filtered on a Views generated page,
clicked on one of the found results, and navigated through to the
page for that result.

After reading the info on the result page, how does the site lead
the user back to the page listing all the other found results?

This module provides a link back to the Views listing page,
which preserves the filters the user applied.

Features

  • Link includes all keywords and filters the user set on the search page
  • Link is provided in a block so can be added anywhere on a result page
  • Link can display different label if there was no search and the page was reached directly
  • Option to not show link if there was no search
  • Link labels can be configured
  • Link path can be configured
  • Page can be cached - link is changed in browser with JavaScript

Technical Notes

The major advantage of this module over Views built in "Remember the last selection", and other Views navigation modules, is that this module takes a more cache friendly approach and is in some ways more customisable.

The link back to results always uses the same URL and link label, regardless of what was searched for. The link is modified in the browser using JavaScript to include search filters in the link and modify the link label.

This means pages will always be the same when output and can be served from a cache such as Varnish.
