Look up [value-extended] in the documentation.

Thanks Racke and Tom. I have tried both of your
examples, placing either <input type=hidden
name=mv_searchspec value="[value-extended
mv_searchspec]"> or [cgi name=mv_searchspec
filter=null_to_space keep=1] on the login.html and on
results.html, with results being:
Errors: 
Search strings must be at least 1 characters. You had
no search string specified. 

This search does work properly if you are logged in
before you use it.
I have tried to unset the userdb NoSearch directive in
login.html (and is used, of course, in results.html
and search_box_small too):

[calc]
	    $CGI->{mv_todo} = 'search';
	    $Config->{NoSearch} = '';
[/calc]

Also I noticed if I place this in login.html:
[value-extended mv_searchspec]
It returns: 1005

[cgi name=mv_searchspec filter=null_to_space keep=1]
returns nothing.

Any other ideas out there? Is this a userdb issue? I'm
using default db on IC 4.8.5.

Thanks.
