I am getting an error with webinator altavista clone

Here is the vortex

<IF $us lt $pg> 
<$next = $end> 
<A HREF=$url/>[Next]</A>
</IF>

Here is the error

<A HREF=

/cgi-members/texis/webinator/userbot/>[Next]</A>

Here is how it appears on the search results page

/cgi-members/texis/webinator/userbot/>[Next]

It should just say [Next]

Is there a way to adjust the max size url that will be accepted?

Thanks

Either you've modified the script incorrectly or you're entering an
extraordinarily long query. Try the original script from
http://www.thunderstone.com/webinator/example/

If you still have problems, please report your texis version
texis -version
and the url that's giving the problem.

By the way, the max URL length is quite large and many web servers and
browsers wouldn't be able to deal with longer ones. In general, if
there really were too much information to export via url, you should
export to table instead of url.

Thanks for the response

It is a very long query string, pushing the limits with lots of exclusions

-(junk1,junk2,junk3,etc.)

What is the limit and can it be increased?

Thanks

Please read the entire previous response for the solution:

Change: <EXPORT $query URL USEROK>
