Implement a link back to a search result page from one of its clicked on results

Implement a link back to a search result page from one of its clicked on results.

What I am trying to do is pass a search query via a back link and to display the result in a view and then run the search query auto.

     @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index", new { searchString= TempData["lastSearchString"] } )

I am having trouble trying to implement this concept .

Is javascript a possibility?

This should retain the search results and text entered. Not sure if it works on all browsers however.

<A HREF="javascript:history.go(-1);">

    public ActionResult Index(string sortOrder, string currentFilter, string searchString, int? page)
    {
tempdata["lastSearchString"]=searchString;
}

in your view 

@Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Index", new { searchString= tempdata["lastSearchString"] } )

You could implement it using Session variables or by storing a cookie
