I found a bug -- that never happens. ;-)

Patched Scan.pm in CVS, now you can do:

    <FORM ACTION="[area search]" METHOD=POST>
    <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_page VALUE="@@MV_PAGE@@">
    <!-- Netscape doesn't like > in the hidden string... -->
    <INPUT
        TYPE=hidden
        NAME=mv_sql_query
        VALUE="select * from products where category = category
                    and price &gt;= min_price
                    and price <=    max_price
            ">
    <SELECT NAME=category>
    [query list=1
        sql="select distinct category from products order by category"]
        <OPTION>[sql-code]</OPTION>
    [/query]
    </SELECT> 
    <BR>
    Min price<SELECT NAME=min_price>
        <OPTION value=""> No minimum
        <OPTION>10
        <OPTION>15
        <OPTION>20
        <OPTION>25
    </SELECT>
    Max price<SELECT NAME=max_price>
        <OPTION value=""> No maximum
        <OPTION>10
        <OPTION>15
        <OPTION>20
        <OPTION>25
        <OPTION>50
    </SELECT>
    <INPUT TYPE=submit>
    </FORM>
    <P>
    
    [search-region]
    [search-list]
            [item-param sku] [item-param price] [item-param category]<BR>
    [/search-list]
    [search-error]
    [/search-region]
