There are an enormous number of files to search and the reason it's paged in that way is to reduce the number of timeouts on the server. It's not a simple matter of extending the search once an archive has been searched, the number of files is assessed first to determine the paging interval. That alone makes it impractical to go back more than 10 archives. Extending to 12 may be possible but nothing beyond that - it was all tested during development. Anything more than 12 gave a timeout about 1 time in 3. That simply isn't acceptable. I took the decision to limit to 10 - moving to 12 is not worth the increased timeouts. In short, it is beyond the limits of the server timeout. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.williamsleesmill.me.uk/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
