Here is what I do.

If I understand right, there are records that you do
not want to show up
in any search results.  The way I do it is not in the
form at all. but
in the results page.  In the database, you should have
a field with 1 or
0 as a flag something like "hide_this_record" then in
the search-list
simply do a test for that field, 

something like this in the results search-region
should do it:

[search-list]
[tmp hide_this_record][item-data products
hide_this_record][/tmp]

[if !scratch hide_this_record]
  <tr><td>
    [item-data products description]...
  </td></tr>
[/if]
[/search-list]

Also, the results code that you would modify is in:
cat-root/templates/components/results_buylist

I have done these kind of modification for nla items,
pending items,
etc...

Rick,

Thank You and this makes perfect sense to work with
the results page and not the small_search_box
component.  I, however, use the results_grid
(perl-based) not the buylist so I'll see what damage I
can do with that!  ...The group will probably be
hearing from me again in a few days!

Blessings,

Lisa
