First of all, not clear how it could be "on log out". If a user logged out already, this person is nobody, should not have rights to look at any personal data.

And if this is shown per the user's account, which can make sense, what's the problem? Do you have database? You should have some data per user, so what's the problem to show some of it on a page?

If you want to persist data keep it in database table with user name and search term. If you need it just for that interaction period store it in session and on logout display what is in session

Cookies are the easiest way.
Each time teh do a search, retrieve the existing cookie, remove the oldest if there are five already, and add teh new serach to teh cookies list. Then save that back.

What you need to do is to persist the last 5 searches.

To persist data you can use
1. cookie (client side)
2. session (server side)
3. storing to database

Among the above 3 options, I would prefer storing data in cookie provided the search string length is not so big.

You can create a string with a delimiter, some thing like this
search 1;search 2;search 3.....
and store the string in cookie.

While getting the string, read the cookie and show it wherever you want it to show.

Hope this helps.
cheers
