We need to search two databases with the same field structure.The point is that there's this database file (from a message board) that's grown a bit too big to be practical, so we have to split it in two files, one with recent and one with old entries.Most searches only uses the recent entries database, but there's one special search that needs the entries from both bases.There are ways to work around the problem, but none we really like. And I *know* it's possible to specify multiple databases in a [SEARCH] command. I've done it before, but I just can't remember the syntax, and the feature seems to be undocumented.
