Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply :)

In answer to your question...

No, I've not tried a later version, nor the demo as yet, but it's pretty 
clear that the "bug" lays in what's initially sent to the browser after the 
search is done, not what's stored in the search results stored on the disk. 
Browsing through the pages via the [more] function proves that to be the 
case as it's reading the data from the stored search rather than repeating 
the search and it displays the results correctly.

I appreciate that the IC core coders would prefer to develop than fix, but 
sadly I'm not able to upgrade IC at this point in time. So, if someone 
could tell me where to look I may be able to find the code error myself and 
share the fix with everyone?

I'm rather hoping that some kind person who understands the inner workings 
of IC more intimately could see the obvious error here and supply the 
required correction(s).

Many thanks in advance

Mark
