SEARCH VANAGON variable1 AND variable2
I think you can get pretty creative with Boolean = statements, too.
You will receive a message back from Gerry with a = listing of all the messages that match. You then send back a message to = Gerry like this:
GETPOST VANAGON item1 item2 item3 item4
the "items" above will be numbers that reference the = different posts
works every time for me.
The only time I use the html search engine is when I = am searching for a specific date range or a specific author (like looking = up someone's e-mail address)
