I don't know that you can even have a working [shownext] starting from within an embedded [search] context, but I don't see why not. Change your code like this:[search db=catalog.db&eqDepartmentdatarq=[url][Department][/url]&max=5&start=1] .... [shownext] Show items [start]-[end]
[/shownext] ....The [Searchstring] will contain _everything_ that is needed to perform the search, including the command=search. View source if you don't believe me...SMSI!!! THIS IS A LONGSTANDING ERROR IN THE DOCUMENTATION AND IT WILL CAUSE MOST WEBSERVERS TO CRASH AFTER JUST A FEW BACK AND FORTH SEARCHES (THE URL BUFFER IS RARELY MORE THAN 2048 BYTES).
