I think you need to change your + to %2BI wish this worked, but it doesn't. The %2B still ends up being seen as a space by webcatalog, and that makes the search work improperly because webcat is still searching for individual words instead of searching for the strings in between the + (%2B) characters.Any other ideas? Or is this a problem for which there is no work-around?Sincerely, Ken Grome 808-737-6499 WebDNA Solutions mailto:ken@webdna.net http://www.webdna.net Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
