Search Sort Random

numero = 58005
interpreted = N
texte = Hi: This should be so easy. It is an example right out of the manual. (WebCat 4.5.1 -NT.) Just doing a simple search and want a random sort order for the founditems. No big deal. [search db=data/images.db&nePROPERTYRECORDdata=[blank]&RECORDsdir=ra&max=10] [founditems] [record]-[propertyrecord]
[/founditems][/search] I always get the same 10 records in the exact same order. (PROPERTYRECORD is a text field) Am I using sdir=ra wrong? I really want to say max=1 and get a different record each time. I'd use [random] except I only have 25 records, and don't see a way to limit the results to be other than the default 1-100. Any help?
