Filtering does >= and optionally <=. There isn't a filtering option for = or string comparison that I recall, so that'd be why it doesn't work.
It seems to me that a simple search, not needing to involve refinement etc as you were before, would be fine for showing results in a category for a state. As the manual entry says, just reconstruct what you'd type on the advanced search page changing the form variables into url variables.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm trying to follow the information on scripts.webmastersite.net/w...nks/wsnmanual/articles/201 (manual)
I've tried to filter my listings by state. {LINKLSTATE} but need to give the user the choice from a drop down.
I tried to add a sample of my code but the forum keeps changing it, so I've had to put a : where there should be a = after form action.
<form action:"index.php?action=displaycat&catid=20&filter=lstate" method="post">
Show Only Listings in this
<select name="filtervalue" class="body">
<option value="" selected>State</option>
<option value="CA">California</option>
<option value="CO">Colorado</option>
</SELECT>
<input type="submit" value="Filter" class="button">
</form>
I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't seem to find it.
