At a glance, the search form seems fine to me, except that you don't
really want the "ra=yes". You may as well use [set] instead of [seti],
although that won't have any impact here.
Perhaps there's a problem on your results page. Do you have a
[search-region] ... [/search-region] block on your results_phonebook
page?
Try something simple like this:
[search-region]
[search-list]
[item-param name] - [item-param contact]<br>
[/search-list]
[/search-region]
Once you start to see your results, you can build your page from there.
See www.interchange.rtfm.info/docs/rtfm_icdatabase.html section 5.11
(The Results Page) for more information.
