numero = 41762
interpreted = N
texte = A little more info. I think I need to use something like the summ=t paraameter to the search,however, as these are full words, my reading of summ=t won't work for me here. Unless I add a new field to the database where I store only the first letter of the term in the main field I am searching.Any better/smarter ideas?ThanksDaleOn Saturday, July 20, 2002, at 09:09 PM, dale's stuff wrote:> Hi,>> I want to provide a set of alphabetical links for the entries in a > database - think of an old style phone book>> not sure the best way to do this.>> Looking to have results like:>> A B C E F>> which would mean that there are words beginning with the letters A, B, and > C, but no words beginning with the letter D in the database.>> The letters listed about will be links to a results page listing all the > words that begin with that respective letter.>> Ideas?>> Using WC 4.02 on Linux>> Thanks>> Dale-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
