Are there alternative methods to restrict search results in PHP without relying on sessionid and cookies?

When restricting search results in PHP, alternatives to using sessionid and cookies include using URL parameters or form submissions to pass the necessary restrictions to the server. This allows for a more transparent and flexible way to control search results without relying on client-side storage mechanisms. 

// Example using URL parameters to restrict search results
$searchQuery = $_GET['query'];
$restrictions = $_GET['restrictions'];

// Apply restrictions to search query
if ($restrictions === 'restrict1') {
    // Apply restriction 1
} elseif ($restrictions === 'restrict2') {
    // Apply restriction 2
} else {
    // Default behavior
}

// Perform search query with restrictions
$searchResults = searchFunction($searchQuery, $restrictions);

// Display search results
foreach ($searchResults as $result) {
    echo $result . "<br>";
}
