Re: [mv] Search Form for userdb not working

Hi,

Well that's the whole point: you don't want any user who knows
minivend to be able to search through your userdb-table (for passwords,
maybe low-encrypted credit card numbers) by his url-tab in any browser.
If I'm correct, there should be a NoSearch directive in the catalog.cfg.
As a default, userdb would be present, remove it and you're free to search.
However, there should be a command like [set mv_search_file]userdb[/set] to
act as a temporary one-search turning-off of the no-search.

(I'm not able to look in to the new catalog.cfg: I still have to download
MV 4.01)

Cheers and good luck.
