Nevertheless, you should know that:Random sorting via a parameter such as raFieldnamesort=1 has a BUG in it that makes it go into an endless loop and generate repetitive sequential results -- rather than random results -- if you do more than a few random searches in a row.Even if you don't do a few searches in a row webdna still does not give random results ... instead it repeats previously chosen results far more often than it should if it were actually working properly.Sincerely,Kenneth Grome---------------------------------------------------WebDNA Professional Training and Development Center175 J.
