RE: Search Engine
****** message to minivend-users from "Thompson-Jordan" <Thompson-Jordan@mindspring.com> ******
If you specify mv_searchspec="" for a field in a coordinated search it
matches all for that field, not null, so it will do exactly what you want
it to (thanks Mike :-). So in you INPUT set the default to "" called
"match any". I will refrain from attempting any corny dating service
examples.
