Thank you Ken, for your input. I liked your second idea better, so I gave it a try. This is from the page that calls the template:
And this is the search syntax from the template:[search db=catalog.txt&max=25&astitlesort=1&eqint5datarq=2&wotext1datarq=230,270,235,250,603,220,280,285,9005,015&group1field=description+title+text7&wogroup1datarq=keyword&group1word=ww&startAt=1]Unfortunately, it's still not working, but I feel like I'm on the right track. Any further guidance based on this syntax would be most appreciated. Sorry about the volume of data here, but I didn't know a better way to explain it.-- Gil Poulsen, Webmaster************************************************************** * AltiM@c * Phone: (908) 469-2567 * * 126 Jerome Avenue * FAX: (908) 469-5823 * * South Bound Brook, NJ * e-mail: help@altimac.com * * 08880-1111 * WWW: http://www.altimac.com * ************************************************************** ------------------------------------ To leave this talk list send an email to macjordomo@smithmicro.com with BODY unsubscribe WebDNA-Talk ------------------------------------ Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
