One possibility, if you would like this to be rather decoupled from the vanilla Invenio search facility, is to write a new /list URL handler, i.e. introduce new module WebList (or simply a new function `list()' in websearch_webinterface.py), write perform_request_list() that would implement its business logic where you can place calls to search_pattern() and other search functions in order to generate list of records satisfying given user request, and for these record IDs you would then generate HTML output for the given user via weblist_templates using print_record() with a customised output format. In this way you will be able to also respect your special paging (`skip=0&show=100') and stuff. Best regards -- Tibor Simko
