[MAPSERVER-USERS] Mapserver does partial search of dbf file

[Fawcett, David]

Do the missing features fall outside of the extent defined in the map
file?  If they are not within the exent, they won't be returned by an
item query (at least that is the way that it worked some time ago...)

Hi all, I'm having a severe problem with MapServer. It seems to only be
searching PARTS of a dbf file. Have a look at my layer. 

LAYER 
	NAME "AllFaculties"
	DATA '/home/jolly/web/shps/campus/mit/buildings.shp'
	TRANSFORM true
	CLASSITEM 'Name'
	TYPE polygon
	GROUP "AllFaculties"
	METADATA
		"queryable"	"true"
		"searchfield"	"Name"
		"fields"	"Name:name,Category:cat"
	END # METADATA
	CLASS
		TEMPLATE "template.html"
	END # CLASS
END # LAYER


Simple and to the point... some how there are records in the dbf file
that I can't reach via search. I'm using kamap's search script that
basically uses mapscript's queryByAttributes(.....) to get results. 
Id     Category           Name
0	Residence/Hall	Karma Hall
0	Residence/Hall	Terry Hall
Above is an extract of my dbf file... Mapserver finds the first record
but does not find the 2nd record. And that's generally how it is with my
dbf file. It'll find a record here and then not find a couple that
follow after, then it's able to find records that follow after. 
Hope some one can help... coz this project was due 3 fridays ago and my
boss is a lil... perturbed (to be MOST diplomatic, and naive)
