   Please post a link.. it's been a while since I looked at a site coupled 
with Vignette.  I think it will require two things:

#1) Make sure the cookie support is enabled

#2) Use the rewrite rules to strip Vignette sessionids off of the URLs, 
otherwise you'll be giving every user of search the same sessionid.

   For those of you who are not familiar with Vignette, they provide a 
software to serve up webpages with sessionids to enable tracking and 
reporting of site usage patterns.

   Thanks.
