Ok, as I have it works. Yay! The thing that was tripping me up was that the pagination ran _after_ the search.
This is how view_admit_lookup is now. function view_admit_lookup() { $this->helpers['Paginator'] = array('ajax' => 'ajax'); // provide pagination for the user. $this->set('provider', $this->paginate()); // here we begin searching for whatever we need. if(!empty($this->data['Provider']['last_name'])) { $this->set('provider', $this->Provider->find('all', array('conditions' => array( 'Provider.last_name LIKE' => $this->data['Provider']['last_name'].'%')))); } // set the title and the default layout. $this->set('title_for_layout', 'Admit Lookup'); $this->layout = 'default'; } On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 1:10 PM, Yves S.
