This has nothing to do with your search code an everything to do with 
browsers, I think. You can see in your links above that both windows have 
the same session ID. To IC, this makes them appear as one window. The last 
thing that window B does sets values to be consulted for the next action of 
window A and visa-versa. If you want them to behave separately, they need 
separate session ID's. This should be a simple as a) turning off all cookie 
support in your browser, or b) opening your new window by launching a 
second instance of your browser application instead of selecting 'new 
window' from the file menu of the first instance.
