Okay I have my FieldIndexes set up to search by 4 fields. Searching works great unless you need to search for a blank field.

Lets say I have a search where I need to find Field1='Test' Field2='Test' Field3='' Field4=''

the search string looks like

/search?Fields1=Test&Field2=Test&Field3=&Field4=

The search would return all records where the first two fields matched PLUS the rest of the records that had any values at all. So I might get back records with a field list like:

1) 'Test' 'Test' 'Test' 'Test' 2) 'Test' 'Test' 'Test' '' 3) 'Test' 'Test' '' ''

This is by design, since it makes it easier for search forms with text boxes on them to work as expected in most cases. ie: you leave the box empty, that box doesn't affect the search results.

When all I really need is #3.

In that case, modify your search script so it looks something like: searchSpec = {} for key,value in context.REQUEST.form: if not value: value = ('',) searchSpec[key] = value brains = context.your_catalog(searchSpec) cheers, Chris
