RE: Possible search bug in 3.12beta13 (and earlier)
****** message to minivend-users from "Thompson-Jordan" <Thompson-Jordan@mindspring.com> ******
Your search should use "fi=partcat.asc".
^^^^
It's a little confusing because it's "sp=catwalk" and Minivend adds the
".html", but databases could end with ".csv" or ".txt", etc. whereas all
pages end with ".html"

Everything is fine. However when I do the exact same thing with
partcat.asc:
http://mysite/cgi-bin/catalog/scan/fi=partcat/sf=category/sp=catwalk/se=Ca
tegoryB?fVLC75zZ;;746
Only [item-code] is valid. If I put the same code entry in product.asc,
then the other fields get filled in (with the products.asc values).
Here's my catwalk.html page:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Results</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
[search-list]
[item-code] and [item-field category]<BR>
[/search-list]
</body></html>
Here's how my two databases are configure:
Database products products.asc TAB
Database products INDEX category
Database partcat partcat.asc TAB
Database partcat INDEX category
Am I out to lunch or is this a bug?
