Thanks for the code! It helps a lot. A
nd I got it working with the help of this "[if session 
last_search =~ /products/], [seti lastsearch][data session 
last_search][/seti]
"
But why couldn't I get the value of mv_search_file by [value or 
cgi mv_search_file]? Right now, I get the value from [data 
session last_search] which has all the search args.

I through the reference guide but couldn't find anything about 
[data session ...]. Maybe i miss something.... anyway what does 
it mean or do? thanks for any help! 

Thanks again Jon
