Re: [mv] exact match

Thanks for the help, I got it working, but I had do this:

--mv profile---
[set default_profile]
mv_search_field=category
mv_matchlimit=[var DISPLAYNUM]
mv_begin_string=1
[/set]


And the two categoris that I had problems with were "Supplies"  (I have 3
other categories that END in the word Supplies)

<TR><TD [var LEFTTBFG]><FORM ACTION="[process_search secure=1]"
METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_profile" VALUE="default_profile">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_searchspec" VALUE="Supplies">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_exact_match" VALUE="yes">
<INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="[var SBIMAGESUPP]" BORDER="0"
ALT="Supplies"><BR></TD></TR></FORM>

This reutns <JUST> the category "Supplies"

and "Insulin"  (I have 2 other categories that BEGIN with the word
"Insulin")

<TR><TD [var LEFTTBFG]><FORM ACTION="[process_search secure=1]"
METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_profile" VALUE="default_profile">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_coordinate: VALUE="true">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_begin_field" VALUE="1">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_searchspec" VALUE="06-">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_search_field" VALUE="code"
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_searchspec" VALUE="Insulin">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="mv_exact_match" VALUE="yes">
<INPUT TYPE="image" SRC="[var SBIMAGEINS]" BORDER="0"
ALT="Insulin"><BR></TD></TR></FORM>


This works to match ONLY the Category "Insulin"  with this category, the
code number all look like "06-xx"  I had originally tried to use
just "06"
in the search but it returned some funky stuff inluding items where the
code adds up to "6"  so if the code was "03-03" it matched.  I switched it
to "06-" and lo and behold, it worked.
