I'm trying to filter the results of a Zsearch, and return the filtered results to the user. I have an external python script which queries a textindex, and returns a list of mybrain objects. I can then build a new list with the filtered results, and return that to the dtml method which displays the first 20 results with no problem. I copied the dtml method generated by an add Z Search Interface, and modified it to process the filtered list. The problem is that I can't get it to handle the next 20 (and so on) results. The Fresults list that I process the first time doesn't propogate to the next iteration. The results list obviously DO propogate for the unaltered search forms. Does anyone have any suggestions? The result list is *NEVER* propagated between requests.

Zope reexecutes the query and uses a different "window" onto the result. Apparently, when you use your filtered result, the query can no longer be reexecuted. Usually, this happens for "POST" requests when you use "sequence-query" (or "QUERY_STRING"). Dieter
