How do you zoom to a search result?

[Jason Domina]

Steve,

Wow.  Thanks.  This is great.  Looking through the code for compass.html  I
notice that the search function calls search.pl.  This is a perl script, no?
Could you share that as well.  I would be very, very, thankful.  

As far as the faq goes, I figure being really new, I'm going to have quite a
few of those "frequently asked questions".  Why not write the answers down.
I do anyway, else I forget them.  I'll try not to be too burdensome.  While
on the topic, what are some of the other frequently ask questions?

Jason

Here are the config files for the compass so you can see how it's setup. The
list
of files include:

  - search.map: main mapfile for the compass
  - compass.html: main template file
  - wma.html: search result template for wma layer (Wildlife Management
Area)
  - wma.map: mapfile for included maps in the wma.html search template
  - pwa.html: search result template for pwa layer (Public Water Access)

I'll gladly share other interfaces on the DNR site if anyone is interested.

No there isn't an FAQ, and I'd love to see one developed. Just haven't had
time to do it myself. I'll contribute in any way I can.

What type of approach do I need to take to get this type of feature?
Specifically, I want to know how to implement a search feature like the one
in
the gallery site:

http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/compass 

Even just a clue would help this clueless cowboy.  Also, if there isn't a
faq
I'd volunteer to help create and maintain one.  If there is a faq, Where?

Thank you,
Jason
