Hi Steve. The missing data is not always clustered. It just happens on that map.
I'll get you the map file and data tonight. I'm away from my pc now.

Seems like an extent problem to me - the way the results are clustered in the
center of the image. MapServer does apply a spatial pre-filter for attribute
queries. However, the searchmap=true should compute a proper extent based
on your image properties (extent, size) before doing the query.
John, what are the changes you could zip up your data and mapfile for me?

Do the ones not selected fall at the end of your qstring? I'm wondering if
something is getting truncated. I'd think
you'd get a parsing error in that case, but perhaps not. Can you label the
polygons with the value for MLRARSYM?
