What does 'x' and 'y' in adv. search url mean?

What does parameters named 'x' and 'y' do in advanced_search_results request? I can't figure it out.. It seems that they aren't used anywhere (at least not via $_GET['x']). So what they do?

'x' and 'y' are coordinates of the mouse cursor when it clicks on a custom image used as a Submit button in an <input> form.

DrByte:

What is that for?

You'll have to ask the authors of PHP why they did that: http://www.php.net/variables.external

But as far as Zen Cart is concerned, the values are unused internally.

Surely there's a reason behind your line of questioning ... ?

Thanks, I haven't realized that this was part of standard.

I always wondered what that was for but never had time to search/ask. I thought that those are oscommerce/zen cart specific variables.
