  • Patent number: 6721732
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically saving a user's search criteria and pre-filling the search criteria into the search form on the user's next visit. The invention saves the user from having to remember exactly what search criteria was previously entered, or from having to reenter that search criteria, or from having to explicitly store and recall that search criteria.
