itemnquery not returning all results

[Robin.Ellis at dnr.qld.gov.au]

I'm having difficulty getting Mapserver to return all matching records from
a shapefile when using 'itemnquery'. I use the following code to run the
process:

//seqbbggis002/cgi-bin/ms_3.3.003?&map=/data4/WWW/projects/burnett/mgr/qdrag
.map&mode=itemnquery&item=geol&value=^Clc$&qlayer=ardsoilsinfo

Often i'll get only a small subset of the intended records returned, or
(more distressingly) no matching records found for some valid values.

I can simulate the same types of queries on the shapefiles in Arcview and
have no difficulties, so I'm assuming I have a mapserver problem and not a
shapefile error.

Can anybody shed some light on what I might be doing wrong?

We're using version 3.3003

Thanks

Rob
