retain search and sorting results

I have a search page where i can select some criteria, say Name: xxx and click on search which gives multiple results.
I select one of the record from search results and go to an other page.
If I come back to search page, previous search results and sorting order is cleared. How can i retain my previous search results and sorting order?

Please advise me a best solution in Struts or Jsp...

Thanks in Advance
