Putting 2 different [Search] contexts into the same template will cause all the results of 1 search to be displayed, then the results of the second:[Search db=somedb1&criteria=xx] [FoundItems]...[/FoundItems] [/Search][Search db=somedb2&criteria=xx] [FoundItems]...[/FoundItems] [/Search]Or if you want to look up some information from a second database while in the middle of [FoundItems] on the first, it may look like:[Search db=SomeDB1&criteria=xx] [FoundItems] [ZipCode] <-- this comes from somedb1 [Lookup db=SomeDB2&lookInField=ZipCode&value=[ZipCode]&returnField=State] [/FoundItems] [/Search]The Lookup searches through someDB2 for a ZipCode that matches the [ZipCode] field from SomeDB1, and returns the corresponding State.The secret here is to nest searches within other searches, using [fields] from one database as search criteria for the interior searches.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
