Speaking of toes...

You're a Clint Eastwood fan, no? Remember that awful movie Firefox where he portrays a retired USAF pilot on a covert mission to steal a newfangled Russian fighter jet? There's a scene where, dressed as a Russian major, he encounters the base commander and says something to the effect of, "Colonel, without your permission, I set additional dog teams on the east and west gates, blah blah."

Well Cap'n, without your permission, I made some modifications to searchresults.aspx.

- Added column for Ticker.
- Added column for Forum.
- Added column for Moderator (well, Owner).
- Extended the query's where clause to search for subjects where the ticker matches the first argument in the search array.

I'd like to indicate with an asterisk or something if it's a moderated thread, but real estate is tight as you will see. Plus, for some reason, aspx doesn't like the statement

If rs("moderated") = "y" Then

What's up with that? Moderated is a 1 digit char field. (Should be a bit, but that's an inherited situation.)

Now I guess we'll see if it's easier to get forgiveness than permission. <g>

EDIT: In case you are wondering, I put Ticker first so Mr. Hollen, thread creator extraordinaire, doesn't give birth to a cow. Hopefully, we can make the column ordering a user option a some much later date when we're looking for busy work.

Edit 2: If this is satisfactory, we can eliminate the Ticker symbols from company specific subject titles, as time permits.

Since it's a small catalog, I changed the Board Description search to FREETEXT instead of CONTAINS so it wouldn't throw so many errors when there are no hits.
