This looks like what I'd like to do.  How does that work?  Does 
SearchResult have getters such as SearchResult.getSubject()?  Wouldn't it 
be sweet to be able to refer to getField()?

Also, why put the list (i.e., query result) in the session?  Doesn't it 
belong in the context of the request/response, to be discarded after the 
response is delivered?

Thanks!
