Retain search sessions on many pages

In tandem with the above, I am also trying to do the following:

Because the search facility has a 'sticky' search effect until the search session is cleared down. I have tried:

<?php @session_start(); ?>
<?php
if (!session_id()) session_start();
if("" == "") {
$_SESSION["mrsSearch"] = "".((isset($_POST["searchbox"]))?$_POST["searchbox"]:"") ."";
}
?>

And then use <?php echo $_SESSION['mrsSearch']; ?> to show the user what they just searched for. This works OK, however, I was hoping to have a constant reminder so when the user moves away from the page, and then back, they are reminded that the search filter is still active, but the session is empty...

Any thoughts as to why?
