I don't know exactly what your problem is (I can't view your website to see), but you could try this:

http://www.cybion.it/...amp;Continent=Africa

I am having a related problem:

I have tried your query. Once again I see links and categories where one of the fields contains "Africa" while I want to have only the ones for which it is the field "Continent" which contains "Africa".

Is it only a problem of query? Or do I have to modify something in the code of links?

My problem is the one described in this post
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/gforum/gforum.cgi?post=272092;search_string=search.cgi%3Fquery;#272092
The solution proposed there seems not to work.

What sort of indexing are you using?

nonindexed

That will be why it doesn't work. Try changing to one of the others. If you change to internal indexing you will need to reindex the database after changing the index to make the search work. The advantages and disadvantages of each choice are detailed in the manual.
