The [set mv_put_session]Yes[/set] needs to be in your scan results
page, results.html or sp=...

Here's the top of a page where I use this

[include pages/header]

[comment]
following is special and required for scratch variables
to stick when used on search pages.
[/comment]
[set mv_put_session]Yes[/set]

[perl arg=scratch interpolate=1]
$oldcat = $Safe{'scratch'}->{'subcat'};
$a = "[value-extended name=mv_searchspec]" || $oldcat;
$Safe{'scratch'}->{'subcat'} = $a;
return "";
[/perl]

<b>[data session arg]</b>

I'm using mv_put_session so I can store mv_searchspec, I just added a
<b>[data session arg]</b> to the page to test your case. I added an
argument to the url and the argument displayed on the results.

The sample url you included didn't have a searchspec.  My search works
and displays the session arg.  Snippet from the generated html
