Odd search results, or odd programmer, not sure which...

texte = Hey all,database has a field, named location. In that field, some examples: HE170 HE170_open FBC170 FBC170_open TOP1170 TOP1170_open DMR171 DMR171_openetc...Now, I need a search that will show only those records that contain the _open and do *not* contain HE. I can do one or the other, but not both. In fact, trying both produces some strange results:....&wnlocationdata=HE&wolocationdatarq=_open will hide the records with HE, but will also hide the records with _open (shouldn't wo show those, not hide them?).....&wolocationdatarq=_open&wnlocationdata=HE will show everything, _open, non-_open, HE and other records.....&wolocationdatarq=_open&wnlocationdata=HE&allreq=T will show all HE records, and all _open records. It will hide the non-_open records for all but the HE's. (if that's clear...)....&wolocationdatarq=_open&nelocationdatarq=HE shows the exact same as above.....&wolocationdatarq=_open&nelocationdata=HE shows the same as above, and interestingly, ignores my sort order and places all the HE170_open to the top, then the rest.Any combinations that I'm missing? I have flushed db's between tries as well. No funky characters in the db either. Any other ideas?I'm assuming that the numbers in the words are giving it the fits. Do I recall a ww search, wordswith perhaps? I don't see it in the docs but will try it now.GK Gary Krockover Webmaster Internet Gateway www.thegateway.net (512) 930-1022 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
