Hi Larry. Thanks for the reply! Just before I go down the avenue for local seach, do you know if it's possible to invoke a local search automatically - i.e pass a search values at load time? ideally I would like to hide that search bar and create a search pertaining to another variable that is set in my html page from a paramter. Thanks again :)
