It's not quite what I meant, the image thumbnail is on each indexed page
I wanted to repeat it on the page of results.

I was looking for a way to pass a thumbnail filename from the html page
into the htdig db and then retrieve it along with the results to display
it alongside the text excerpt.

I bodged it by making the html <title> tag the thumbnail filename and
using
$&(TITLE) as part of an <img src="$&(TITLE)" /> approach.

That works, but it's not terribly elegant and I lose <title> as a useful
attribute.

Are there any other variables that get stored in the index that I could
use?

I'm still looking at the PHP wrapper - that may be my answer in the long
run..

Thanks again.

Tony
