How can you exclude on a certain field if it isn't in the search spec?
Looks like the above two are swapped in order, and that you don't have
a "b" in the mv_searchspec value.

 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_coordinate VALUE=1>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_searchtype VALUE=db>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_matchlimit VALUE=10>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_sort_field VALUE=category>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE=Xclass>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE=Xactor>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE=title>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_column_op VALUE=ne>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_column_op VALUE=eq>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_column_op VALUE=rm>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_searchspec VALUE=b>
 <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_searchspec VALUE=1>
 <INPUT MAXLENGTH=30 NAME=mv_searchspec type=text size=10>

would seem right....

I will put in my usual caution that using mixed-case field names is
not a good idea.....it could even be causing some of your troubles.
