    /brief rant, hope this is the right place to post it

    Does anyone have any hints or tips for searching the Dell Outlet without having to reset all search parameters every time you add an item to your cart?

    As it is now, after I define search parameters and click on a selection, the only way I can go back to the previous page with search parameters intact is if I do not click "Add to cart."

    As soon as I click "Add to cart," all the search parameters go back to the default setting. I've tried: going back one page, clicking "Continue Shopping," and CTRL+N so the "Add to cart" would continue in a new browser page, hoping the original page woud not change. Nothing works. :(

    It's so frustrating and slow that I give up after looking at three or four items. And since this is a pretty serious amount of money to be spending, I'd really like to see more than three or four products. After all, that's why there's a larger inventory (supposedly) available to browse, right?

    I can't even begin to think of how to prompt Dell to streamline this process, so I'm hoping someone may have figured out some ways to make it more efficient.
