By any chance are you duplicating item codes between databases?  It might
be that the search is returning codes for matches from the correct search
file, but then your results page is pulling up the data from the first
product file listed.

For example, suppose the search returns item code "100" from the rome.asc
file.  If you have a tag like "[item-description]" in your results page,
MiniVend will look for code "100" in each product file in order, and finds
code "100" in the carter.asc file, and displays the description found
there. 

One work-around is to maintain unique codes amongst databases, or you
could change the results page to look for data specifically from the file
that was searched, e.g.: 
   [item-data rome description]
