A registered user can log into yioop and perform admin tasks. A logged in user can also return to the main yioop search page to use the search engine to get search results. When this user enters a query and hits the search button, the search results are displayed for the query. However when this is done the user is automatically logged out of the system.

This was fixed with commit dfde58ae as per your suggested fix Ravi.

Thanks for your help!
