Pagination Alternatives?

[eluser]CI_Newb[/eluser]
Well I'm giving up on using codeignter pagination for my search page.

The problem I'm having is that a user fills out the search form and submits it. It returns properly with the proper pagination.

Problem is that whenever a pagination link is clicked to go through the results, it's reloading the search page displaying all rows from the table like no search was done.

I've been searching for a solution but have yet to come up with anything so i'm looking into alternatives to using CI pagination.

Any suggestions?
