What I would like to see is being able to easily control the look of the pages without using the search.htm file for headers/footer/result pages etc. Often you have already defined headers and footer for your site and you don't want to define them again in the search.htm template file. Little bit offtopic: I use mnogosearch to index my password protected site via HTTP. I can directly index the filesystem because it uses PHP and that needs to be parsed ofcourse. Indexing works okay using the Apache Basic Auth stuff (you can just supply mnogo with username/passwor din indexer.conf), but I want to switch to PEAR::Auth because I want to use sessions, register additional session data and make a nicer login form. But mnogo doesn't understand cookies so it can never login to my site. I don't want to use URL based sessions (e.g. url.php?PHPSESSIID=dsa2231hsh) Any way to overcome this problem? Jeroen
