I have a Featured Titles page that works this way. Forget about the category search. Are you putting [url][/url] around the search term in the URl? That may be why you are not finding your category New For 2000.I'm a relative newby too.

I know that brain hurts feeling. Why don't you put a field in your db called newfor2k that is set to T or F. Build a link that searches for just books checked T in the field newfor2k. I have a Featured Titles page that works this way. Forget about the category search. Are you putting [url][/url] around the search term in the URl?
