Well, you tell me, does it make sense to you to define 3 hidden input parameters in a search form but not assign a value to them? In fact, when you put a value attribute in an input tag, but don't assign a value, as you do above, the result is unpredictable - some browsers set the value to an empty string, but some (like older versions of Netscape) set the value to two spaces. You should have value="(something)" in those tags, whatever you feel the (something) should be, even if you just want an empty string. What's more, it seems you have two separate definitions of the "exclude" input parameter in your form above. Finally, if you're wondering about the value you give to "exclude" in the last input tag, I'm not in a position to say whether it's appropriate or not, as I don't have a clue what's in your database. If all the URLs in your database begin with "http://www.jbase.com/knowlegebase/";, then htsearch will exclude all of them. If there are some URLs in your database that don't begin with that string, then they should show up in search results, as long as they have text matching your search words, and as long as there are no other problems in your search form (like the ones mentioned above). -- Gilles R.
