Site Assistant and creating a Search URL

[fmwebby]

I have a site created with the PHP Site Assistant working well that allows users to search from a number of different fields. I would also like to create a number of static links that can be clicked that perform a search based on some static criteria but I'm having trouble either getting the correct URL syntax or overcoming some limitations of how the Site Assistant works that I'm not aware of.

All the different URL's that I've tried always return all records. Here's the latest ones that I've tried:

http://192.168.0.53/website/recordlist.php?action=find&author=jones&-lop=and&-max=20

http://192.168.0.53/website/recordlist.php?-db=Articles&-lay=web_view&action=find&author=jones&-lop=and&-max=20

If this helps here some details:

Database name: Names

Web Layout: web_view

Record List: recordlist.php

Many thanks,

Steve
