Thanks Lachlan, I in fact am writing a wrapper.... sometimes I need a smack of the obvious, thanks for that. :-) I've been working on our new search tool (while doing many other things) for several months now. I'm very happy with how it is working and it is almost ready to go live. There are some really nifty hacks that I've done to build this tool, all of which I would be happy to share and document for anyone who's interested.
