[ic] mv_coordinate with mv_range_look in Interchange

Hi all,
I am trying to add a min max price limit to my srchform page. I read in the
MV mail list that Mike had removed the ability for mv_range_look in a
mv_coordinate search. Mike includes a work around shown below, but I am
unable to make that work, and I believe I have accurately transposed his
example to my current application, also shown below. Anyone have ideas on
this? (note- I believe what Mike is directing here is simply to create 2
additional searches on the field that you are attempting to do the range
search on, in this case "price", and use mv_column_op to define 'greater
than equal to' in one case, and 'less than equal to' in the other, but as I
said I am unable to get this to work. I also noted that Mike left
mv_range_look in this example?)
tks.
<-snip->
I took out the ability to combine range look with coordinated search, and
I think I documented that in WHATSNEW. The reasons were performance, code
complexity, and correctness. If you are strong of stomach, try reading
the get_limit subroutine in Search.pm. 8-)
You can do instead:
<FORM ACTION="[area search]" METHOD=POST><INPUT TYPE=hidden

I have the following on my page:

<-end snip->
I do not have <INPUT TYPE="hidden" name="mv_range_look" value="price"> on
this example, when I insert it I get the error "Sorry, there was an error
in processing this form action. Please report the error or try again later.
(Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at
/usr/local/interchange/lib/Vend/TextSearch.pm line 144.)
Error log says: Range look not compatible with mv_coordinate. Disabling.
So obviously they are not compatible, and it does not appear that Mikes "do
instead" will work with the current Interchange 4.6, although I am more
inclined to think I have made some sort of error here....(-:
Any clues as to what I may be doing wrong or missing?
