As reported by Dean B  in
http://groups.google.com/group/google-custom-search-results/browse_fr...
you need to hit the back button twice (in Firefox) when using the
default Linked CSE setup. He also discovered, as I just did, that
turning off resizing, removed the extra page in the history ("var
googleSearchResizeIframe = false;"). I also discovered that this
problem isn't present in the standard/non-linked CSE - even if it
seems to use the same Javascript! I'm very reluctant to take the road
Dean B did, modifying my own copy of "show_afs_search.js". That breaks
badly when Google decides to add some new stuff ..

So my question/request is: Why do you need to have an explicit page
reload when resizing the iframe when using Linked CSE, but not in the
standard CSE? Please fix this issue ASAP. AFAIK it only affects
Firefox users (as noted by Dean B).

Test pages (which might be removed without notice):

http://home.himolde.no/~nordhaug/google-cse-linked-reload-test.html
Requests (captured by the "Live HTTP Headers" extension for Firefox)
when first using the linked search and then the normal search (on the
two pages above):

Notice the explicit reload for linked search.
