Display search parameter on result page?

I am trying to create a Search Page to search a FMPro5 database using [FMP-fieldname] as a search parameter and display the results on the Search.Result Page. In this case, let say the value for [FMP-fieldname]is Value1 before the search and after the search the value of [FMP-fieldname] is Value2. Is there anyway I can display [FMPro-fieldname] with Value1 as a heading on the Search.Result Page.

From the FMP4 CDML reference...

[FMP-CurrentFind] ... [/FMP-CurrentFind]

In between these tags you use:

[FMP-FindFieldItem] is replaced with the field name that was part of the find request that created this page

[FMP-FindOpItem] is replaced with the search operator that was part of the find request that created this page

[FMP-FindValueItem] is replaced with the value that was part of the find request that created this page

So if you had on your results page the CDML code:

Current find request is<br>

[FMP-CurrentFind]Field=[FMP-FindFieldItem], Op=[FMP-FindOpItem], Value=[FMP-FindValue Item]<br>[/FMP-CurrentFind]

The results could look like:

Current find request is

Field=first name, Op=begins with, Value=Jos

Field=last name, Op=begins with, Value=Smith

--

Now, addressing your question: if you did a search on field1 for value1, how could you end up with a resulting record that had field1=value2? You cannot, becuase if it had value2 it would not have been found!

Thank you for your reply. Actually, my task involved searching three fields, say Fieldname1, Fieldname2 and Fieldname3 with Operator=Value1 and using logical operator=OR. So on the found set, Fieldname1 may or may not contain Value1, and the same is ture for Fieldname2 and Fieldname3. But I like to use Value1 for the heading for the found set. I did manage to find a solution by using a global field in my database that update Value1 for each search.
