I am afraid I don't know how to do the conversion, but assuming there
is some code that does that, just add a filter:

    [input-filter name=mv_searchspec]
	    my $val = $CGI->{mv_searchspec};
	    # code to effect the conversion goes here
	    return $val;
    [/input-filter]

If you have already defined a $Vend::Interpolate::Filter that does
the conversion, then it is just: 

    [input-filter name=mv_searchspec op=your_filter][/input-filter]

If mv_searchspec is *always* to be filtered, you can instead
do in catalog.cfg:

	Filter mv_searchspec your_filter

Presumably you would use an external module to convert it, in which
case you would make a global UserTag to access it, and your code
inside the filter would look like "$val = $Tag->your_convert_tag($val)".

Research is what I'm doing when I don't know what I'm doing.
