Is it possible to have multiple field URL search for an empty value, e.g. decision_value = ""
I am trying to write something like... page.php/status-Open/decision_value- ?

url search for color = 'blue' and size = 'medium' would be page.php/color-blue/size-medium
is it possible to do a url search for color = 'blue' and size = ''
(i.e. the size is blank)

The CMSB docs includes a feature called 'use SEO URLs' - see this entry here, it's about half way down the page: http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/viewer_options.html
I think this does exactly what you're looking for. It's a custom option, not supported by all servers, that allows multiple variables to be passed in the path info in the manner you describe.
The usage is by adding "'useSeoUrls' => true" to the getRecords function.

Yes, I know. Url search works fine. That's not my question.
My question is is it possible to search for an empty or null value, e.g. color = '', as one of the multiple variables?

Okay, how should the logic work for the search? Should the null value return all records regardless, or only records where that value has not been set?

Hi Markr,
I think you may be looking for the _empty search suffix option:

Let me know if that does what you need. Thanks!
