[mapguide-users] Numeric Search

[Andy Morsell]

If you build the query with the expression builder in Autodesk Studio as
part of a Fusion search widget, I can confirm that the following syntax
works on my end with a numeric field (PRIMARYINDEX):

ToString( PRIMARYINDEX ) LIKE '%$USER_VARIABLE%'

Try stripping out all of the fields in your search results and only include
the one you are searching on to see if that makes a difference.

Dave I tried your syntax and still end up with the "The character '$' is
invalid.

correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the full syntax be:

ToString(FID) LIKE Concat(ToString($USER_VARIABLE), '%')

Are you by chance using dotnet instead of php?

Thank you for reply.  I have tried this code along with several others and
still no luck.  This now gives me an invalid character error message for the
$.  I will keep trying.
