You would have to do two searches:[Search db=......] [founditems] [!]these items matched the search terms[/!] [/founditems] [/search][Search db=......&Unmatched=T] [founditems] [!]these items DID NOT match the search terms[/!] [/founditems] [/search]It would be very difficult to program WebCat to find both matching/unmatching records and then return them in the proper order. It would require twice the RAM to store both returned lists and possibly sort them. It would be really slow on anything more than a few records...John-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
