The view state is primarily a serialised version of a) the non-transient fields of the controller class and b) the page component tree built by the Visualforce apex: tags.

You should find out which of these the problem is with starting from the "Examining the View State" section of An Introduction to Visualforce View State. That article also includes the common approaches to addressing the problem.

Also click on the viewstate tag here and browse the various postings on the subject.

The fix might be very simple e.g. instead of assigning your search results to a field just return them from a getter method.

  • +1 for returning from getter method. It's often unnecessary to actually store the data in view state if it's read only. Even if it's writable, you can usually use a getter and setter together to get the desired effect without much trouble.
