[ic] [timed-build] - search pages

Thank you Mike! That was too cool. Is the "file" parameter documented? If
it is, I didn't see it. Here's the code I actually used because of what I'm
doing specifically:
Note: Because I'm using the searchspecs to make my filenames, and because
I'm using the searchspecs to make the page title, I had to make the whole
page a search region, and put the [timed-build] within the [search-region].
[search-region]
[calc]
my @str = grep /\D/, @{$Values->{mv_searchspec}};
$main_category_1 = @str[0];
$media_type_1 = @str[1];
$main_category_file = $main_category_1;
$main_category_file =~ s/ //g;
$media_type_file = $media_type_1;
$media_type_file =~ s/ //g;
$time_build_file =
"timed/".$main_category_file.".".$media_type_file.".html";
$page_title = $main_category_1." - ".$media_type_1;
return;
[/calc]
[timed-build file="[calc]$time_build_file[/calc]" minutes=20]
[set page_title][calc]$page_title[/calc] - __COMPANY__[/set]

You can, however, do:
[timed-build
file="[cgi param 1].[cgi param 2]"
minutes=10
]
[query ....]
[/query]
[/timed-build]
[timed-build
file="[cgi param 3].[cgi param 4]"]
minutes=10
]
[query ....]
[/query]
[/timed-build]
If there is static query, i.e. the parameters are hardcoded,
you can do:
[timed-build auto=1 minutes=10]
Something unique...
[/timed-build]
There is an example in the vertical_category component in foundation.
