I'm using LinksSQL for an online book store. I need the search feature to be able to searh by the book's ISBN number. I've got the ISBN field weighted, but it seems the search results always return something like: "0442014082 - Phone number" (and returns no results) when trying to search by a string of numbers. Is there anyway around this?

in search.pm (in the Links directory)


that seeks out whether it's just a sring of numbers. If you ## that out, you'll probably be allowed to get past that.

To be elegant, you should really use the validity test for an ISBN number (isn't it divisible by 17?) and if it is, call it an ISBN number, and search on that field only, and if it's not, call it a phone number or other arbitrary string of numbers and reject it.

Did this work???

It worked great! Thank you for your help.
