Dear friends,

I am interesting in your excellent mapserver GIS solution.
I tried to make a little project of a topografic map. It works 
very well, because I used your very good tutorials and "how to" 
descriptions.
But I have a problem with the "getting backward information". 
What I mean? For example, it is no problem with getting 
information of an object like town or road through a querry and 
the question in a appropriate dbf file.
In this moment I am not sure how to solve a problem with 
searching an marking an object in a map by a query in something 
like a search engine.
I can't find any description of this problem in your FAQs or 
tutorials.
Some problem like mine you have discused in your mail database. I 
found here some terms or features like map_pin_feature etc.

Please can you advise me:
1) Is in your web site any description or tutorial of this 
problem?
2) Is map_pin_feature a property or function of your cgi script 
an how it works?
3) Is this feature applicable for bit map layers?
4) Exists any other solution_

Thank you for your time, which you will spent with my problems.
I am looking forward on your answers.

With best regards
