[ic] sorting problem

[Alessandro Poletto]

Yes i've noticed this probs, the sort tag is slow and works only with 
the first page... sigh!

But the problem now is another, haw can i modificate the search 
syntax when i've the results displayed?

I know the search syntax: tf=[filed] to=[sort type] but i don't know 
how re-get the search parameters and re-utilize changing them!

Many thanks to all
