Quite a lot seem to judging by my personal web server's refer logs;
the page number is included in the "referring URI".
People quite often look at several pages on my site for the same search,
and disturbingly often then browse around for a few minutes, coming
back later on with another match for the same search, or a slightly
different search. I wish I could ask those people exactly what
they were looking for, although one of the most common queries that
I get hits for (with pictures of ruined castles mostly) is simply
pictures
where I suspect someone was bored :-)

PS: the pictures of ruined castles (and other engravings and woodcuts
from old books) are at
http://www.holoweb.net/~liam/pictures/oldbooks/
in case you're wondering! Coming shortly is an XML Query-powered
interface to search by keyword & depicted location.
