texte = Here's something that may or may not have a solution:1- I'm creating a bunch of these parameters:by using a search/founditems context on the search page -- to allow tusers to check off as many brandnames as they wish in their searches. In other words, the search must retrieve records having one *OR* more of the brandnames checked -- the *whole* brand name, not just part of it, because some of the brand names have common characters in them.2- On the results page, I'm using this search context:[search otherparameters&wofieldNamedatarq=[formvariables name=brandname&exact=F][url][value][/url]+[/formvariables]]There's only one problem with this technique: The actual search string created by this code makes the plus signs into %20, and that screws up my searches. Here is the parameter created by this code when I check two of the checkboxes:&wofieldNamedatarq=US%20West%20GTE%20... but what I *wanted* for this parameter is:US%20WEST+GTE+So why is webcat replacing + with %20? The plus sign is NOT inside the url context, so shouldn't it be passed as is, without being changed into %20?Is this a bug? Is there a work-around available?Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net
