If you have 20 input fields from your orignal search form, [searchstring]will put that many (and perhaps 1 or 2 more) in as well. Note that in thissituation the amount of HTML generated can be quite large if you have morethan a few show next forms. Thus it's best to limit the number of shownextforms created with the max= option (see shownext in online docs).John.>Grant wrote:>>>Just to clarify a bit: [searchstring] is now meant to be used only within>>[ShowNext] as a means of building up search URLs that correctly find the next>>chunk of found items.>>>>If you want to display human-readable text, you can make use of the fact that>>WebCatalog lets you display any form variable:>>>>If you search is something like>>Results.tmpl$search?db=xx.db&woDescriptiondata=Hello>>>>Then in the results page you can use>>>>Your search for [woDescriptiondata] in the database [db] found [numFound]>>items.>>This is a simple case.
