Hi,

p.mapper is great - and I am experimenting for quite a while but  
didn't found out how exactly to define a search funktion in the  
search.xml file using PostGIS; the examples show the connection  
without sending a username and password.

e.g.:
Database name ist testdb
Tablename is testfile
Username is testperson
Password is testpassword

and I would like to select all the geometries where the field NAME is  
<searchstring>

Here is your example where I have tried to fill this informations in,  
but I failed - I would simply like to establish a connection but did  
not know how to handle username and password (since the XML file is  
open to the public I could/would not include it here):

     <searchitem name="testsearch" description="Only a test">
         <layer type="postgis" name="testfile">
             <field type="s" name="name" description="City"  
wildcard="2">
                 <definition type="suggest" connectiontype="db"  
sort="asc" minlength="1" dependfld="cmcncd">
                     <dsn encoding="UTF-8">pgsql:// 
postgres:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/testdb</dsn>
                     <sql>SELECT DISTINCT name FROM testtfile WHERE  
name ~* '^[search]' ORDER BY name</sql>
                     </definition>
             </field>
         </layer>
     </searchitem>

As far as I understand I don't need the suggest type in my case  
instead of receiving the results immediately at the map. So the most  
simple example how to write a request with PostGIS would be appreciated!

Thanks for your help!

Regards
Andreas
