request.referer with anchor

is there a way to get the referer with the anchor from the referer page..

the situation is - i have a search page which loads results (users) below the search box using ajax. i am changing the hash/anchor on the fly when the search keyword is typed in.

so it becomes http://localhost/users/search#foo

the user gets link in the ajax result to edit the user. i want the user to come back to this same search result after he is done editing the user.

Anchors are not included in the referrer. You'll need to use query parameters or define the return URL (with the anchor) in the session before updating the user.
