First of it makes a lot of difference how you reload the initial page. If you have a link that goes from the action page to the search page, you can send the parameters back to the search page. How do you "loaded" from the action page. What do you do?

In any case, if you send the data to the search page, you can get them and have their values selected at the select boxes. The option tag has the selected='selected' attribute.
