[/code]

I added the following with the BCSE free mod and that from 4.1:

BCSE mod: http://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=18488

search.php

x_session_register("search_data");

# BCSE begin
if($search)
{
        $search_data['products']['substring']=$search;
        $mode="search";
}
# BCSE end
if (!empty($search_data["products"])) {
	# only show fields we really care about
	$allowable_search_fields = array( "substring", "sort_field", "sort_direction" );
	$search_url_args = array();

	# from 4.1
	foreach ($search_data["products"] as $k=>$v) {
		if (in_array($k, $allowable_search_fields) && !empty($v)) {
			if (is_array($v)) {
				foreach ($v as $k1=>$v1)
					$search_url_args[] = $k."[".$k1."]=".urlencode($v1);
			}
			else {
				$search_url_args[] = "$k=".urlencode($v);
			}
		}
	}

	# show page if needed
	if ($search_url_args && $page > 1)
		$search_url_args[] = "page=$page";

	$search_url = "search.php?mode=search".(!empty($search_url_args) ? "&".implode("&", $search_url_args) : "");
	$smarty->assign("search_url", $search_url);	
}

customer/main/search_results.tpl

paste this where you want the link to display:

<DIV align="right"><A href={$search_url}>This page URL</A></DIV>
