Yeah, it basically allows you to do joins of certain sorts when searching for items, which is *immensely* useful. I've got this coded up as two separate queries right now, but it's pretty slow and I can see how for some open queries it'd cause things to grind to a halt... Anyway, thanks for the feedback. I'll take a peek in the next couple days.
