XF 1.4 Question About New Posts

[Connor Smith]

Hello,
When you go to the "New Posts" feature on the forums, I was wondering why, in the URL, there is a string of numbers?:

Curious to know what it means.

It's a search ID, so you can have a consistent set of results across pageviews (and link results).

 

[Mike]

It's a search ID, so you can link others to the exact same results.

The first part of this is correct, but the second part isn't exactly; it's more so that you can maintain a consistent result set across multiple page views.
