I always use [perl] for this but there is also a [set] tag

[perl arg=scratch]
$a = tag_data('session', 'arg');

($b,$c) = split /\|/, $a;

if($b) {
    $Safe{'scratch'}->{'type'} = $b;
	$Safe{'scratch'}->{'uctype'} = ucfirst($b);
}
 ...
[/perl]


In your results page you access the value like this

<h1>[scratch ucmanufact] [scratch uctype] Categories</h1>

When accessing a non-products table via [search_list] (not [more_list])

[page href="products" arg="[item_data models code]"]
                                      ^        ^
									   table    column
