Thanks. I do appreciate this, and its a neat solution, but the problem wasnt
that i dont know how to put common elements in a base class, the
problem is that nowhere in the Cat docs, formal or informal, are there any
examples of doing searches with web apps.
In practice i tend to have more complicated apps, with difficult queries, that
i do abstract out the query building, and then things that i
throw together in a few minutes where everythings a mess. Usually when im just
throwing things together, i forget about best practices and want
to look them up.
