Dropdown selection default value

John,
open ..._search.php file, find following lines:

if($not)

$smarty->assign("not_FieldName"," checked");

// write search options

where FieldName is your actual field name.

Then edit code after it. See my changes in Bold:

$options="";

$options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"Starts with ...\" ".(($opt=="Starts with ...")?"selected":"").">"."Starts with ..."."</option>";

$options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"Contains\" ".(($opt=="Contains")?"selected":"").">"."Contains"."</option>";

$options.="<OPTION VALUE=\"Equals\" ".(($opt=="Equals")?"selected":"").">"."Equals"."</option>";

Thanks Jane

I looked for what you suggested and no luck but I did find the following line...
$a=array("Contains","Equals","Starts with ...","More than ...","Less.....etc......
I found by just changing the order in the array would do the trick
$a=array("Starts with ...","Contains","Equals","More than ...","Less.....etc......
I don't know how I missed that before but this modification is working now.

Thanks a bunch...

John
