This is definitely wrong. You can't have a coordinated search for all
fields like this. You are essentially searching the entire record
for "french" and "1", and I bet each of the three that are returned
have a 1 in them and the three that aren't don't.

You probably need:

 	      <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE="inactive">
 	      <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_search_field VALUE=":*">
