the problem.
I've already checked out my array of structures
I need to search for the urlendcode for a space ( %20 ) in an sql server LIKE
statement.
example...notice the middle space between the two keywords below...
opportunities.title LIKE '#listgetat(session.search_keywords, 1, %20)#' +
'%20' + '#listgetat(session.search_keywords, 2, %20)#'
Not sure... consider this statement which searches for anything before the word

like '%mack'
I guess part of my question is what happens when you do this...
