[ic] Calling unique search criteria from tree menu - setting up links

[Lara]

Geez, I hate to bother you guys, but...

I have a small problem that, for the amount of time I've spent trying to 
figure it out, has turned into a large headache.

My tree menu (born from Mike's fabulous tree example) required some 
customization. For instance, the menu categories don't use your standard 
criteria to trigger a catalog search; the criteria is different, depending 
on the category. There are also 3 unique results pages, also dependent on 
the category selected. I solved this by adding fields to the tree table 
(tree_menu) including a field ("search") that holds the unique search 
criteria for that item (including the results page associated with that 
item). Eg.:

fi=co_info/se="Rigbys"/sf=title/sp=co_results

I'm having trouble setting up the links so that it pulls this search 
criteria from the "search" field in tree_menu while also toggling the menu.

This calls a search but obviously doesn't toggle the menu:

[page search=[item-param search]][item-param name][/page]

I've tried these:

[page search=[item-param search] form='toggle=[item-param 
code]'][item-param name][/page]

[page href=scan arg=[item-param search] form='toggle=[item-param 
code]'][item-param name][/page]

... as well as probably dozens of other variations.

This has got to be an easy one for you guys (but hopefully not so easy as 
to be insulting). Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks in advance!
Lara (using Interchange 4.8)
