Re: [SearchString] usage
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1997
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 11637
interpreted = N
texte = Unlike the other WebDNA tags that are straight carry-overs from 1.6,[searchstring] has a similar meaning, but completely new format. Ratherthan outputting a human readable version of what people are searching for,[searchstring] outputs a form (method post or get) version of the entiresearch. This is used to build up the [shownext] links. The [searchstring]variable is only valid within a [shownext] context (see online docs for[shownext]). HOWEVER, you don't need the old-style [searchstring] anymorebecause all the search variables can be used individually to build up amuch better version of the human readable search string.John.>I'm having trouble using [SearchString] in several situations using the>2.0f3 plug-in.>>First is in my logfile.
