Microsoft Internet Explorer seems to be the only browser recognizing the <link rel="alternate" media="print" …/> tag. (see #007677)

When searching, the query is given as GET parameters. These GET parameters are not written into the href of that specific <link>-tag.

So when printing the search results in MSIE, you'll get a printout of the search form without any results (because there was no query given). All other browsers ignore that tag, so they print what you see.

Example:

A search for "test" opens the following URL in my browser:

http://example.org/content/search?SearchText=test&SearchButton=Search

The link tag reads that:

<link rel="Alternate" href="/layout/set/print/content/search" media="print" title="Printable version" />

Thus, MSIE prints the plain http://example.org/layout/set/print/content/search page.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open an eZ installation in some MSIE
2. Do a search using /content/search
3. With your results showing, open File -> Print Preview
4. Try to find your results
