Re: [mv] mv_searchspec not retained accross [more-list]

Yessir, that's right.

If you'd like to include this in your one-click search,
add va=searchterm=thecategoryIsearchedforandwanttodisplay
to be desplayed with [value searchterm] on the results-page.

Works like a charm.

BTW: don't forget to put stuff, when you were going to use
this trick in a real form, in neat quotes:
<blabla value="[value mv_searchpec]">
If you'd leave them out, it would break the result for
searchterm, eg "blue note" would show up as "blue", which
is not what you want.

I just thought I'd mention this, since it left me in the
dark for some time until I tried the quotes. (know your HTML..)

Ciao,
