I have a similar need and what you need to do is process the 'find' request appropriately in your server program. So, instead of using the passed parameter to form part of the SQL where clause you could save the entire data set in an array, then do the find in PHP or whatever code you are using and position the page offset so that it contains the required row. Doing it this way will just position the page without affecting the data set from the database.
Let me know what you think...
