RE: [mv] Search value as an argument

Brent -

I have been watching this thread, and I am wondering if there is another 
way you can accomplish your goal?  If the URL of the search result is 
within your Minivend site, there are several ways your can extract the 
value of mv_searchspec, such as moving it into a scratch variable, form 
field, etc., instead of trying to parse it out of the URL.  Would any of 
these methods work for you?
