Huh, that’s surprising. This is almost certainly the problem. I had looked at AdvSearch but it’s been 7 years since that package has had any activity so I’m leery about putting into use.
Will try hacking this a bit for a temporary fix, I expect simply switching to getIterator might help, but maybe that will break something else.
Gotta say, search doesn’t seem to be a strong point for MODX, wish I had time to work on a custom package.
Thanks for the reply, at least I know what’s happening now.
