There are a couple of issues with it: - the template for the search results is pretty hard to get right. - because of the spidering, session tracking through the URL is not a good idea. It gets up to the limit of 500 *very* quickly, as the session id part of the URL makes it think that it's a whole new page. Luckily my web site isn't really dependent on sessions, so I was able to get round that (but it does mean that I can't use the struts rewriting tags...). Otherwise I'm very happy with atomz. -- Louise Pryor http://www.louisepryor.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
