Hi,
what needs to be changed in the script to treat all searches as is they were in quotes?

thanks.

Put quotes around the query before submitting it to sql.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. without asking the user to place quotes around their query is there anyway for webinator to automatically treat the search query as if it were in quotes.
thanks.

There isn't an option. You could programatically add the quotes.

In qpar replace
<$q=$txtquery>
with something like this (untested)
<rex '"' $txtquery>
<if $ret eq "">
<strfmt '"%s"' $txtquery>
<$q=$ret>
<else>
<$q=$txtquery>
</if>
