Not sure if this is what you are asking, but remember the order of
operations. Functions can be written in 3 ways, and they are processed in
this order:
1. {(function)}
2. [(function)]
3. <(function)>
The latter one, btw, is the only one that is processed after conditionals,
making it important for things like [if condition]<(forward some.page)>[if]
In your case you want the function output before the search function is
processed, so try this:
[(search dir='files/{(thefunction)}' type=png fmt="[^{+p}
dir='{(thefunction)}'^]")]
The dir gets returned first, then BoltWire sweeps through again and does
the search.
Cheers,
