[Mapserver-users] itemnquery returns no results

[mapserver@resellmo.com (K Resellmo)]

Hello all,

I am trying to get item queries working using the MapServer 4.0.1 CGI 
interface, but I keep getting the "Search returned no results" error message.

Here is the URL I am using:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?mapfile.map&mode=itemnquery&qlayer=cities&qstring=('[name]'='Timbuktu') 


Defining a qitem did not help. I have tried changing case. I have checked 
the shapefile, and there is an entry for "Timbuktu" in the name column. 
I've tried querying numerical columns, also without success.

Regular queries are working fine (mode=query) thanks to help from the list, 
so I think my mapfile is fine. Anyhow, here is the relevant section from my 
mapfile:

LAYER
      NAME cities
      DATA cities
      STATUS default
      TYPE POINT

      CLASS
         NAME "cities"
         TEMPLATE citiesQuery.html
         STYLE
            COLOR 255 255 255
         END
       END
END


IAny help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kris
