A replacement for select+multi+values

It took like three hours.. at lest. This is in a section and is included from an edit template. It's a bit trickier than expected because Formfieldx is a reference to another topic, like we don't save the Contact's full name in an OrderForm? , we just save the topic name of the Contact, so it's a reference, they are AUTOINC'ed. Hm, this only saves one value even if two are selected....changing formfield to textboxlist helped that. Almost....well, not perfect per se... but many SEARCH'es in a data form got really bad performance.

...there! now works perfect. Regex match with word boundry match. Thank you guys who made the Query search.

<select name="Formfieldx" multiple size="5">%SEARCH{ 
   "form.name='SomeForm'" 
   separator=", " 
   type="query" 
   nonoise="on" 
   order="formfield(Sortfield)" 
   format="<option value=\"$topic\" $percntIF{ \"'$percntBASETOPIC$percnt'/Formfieldx=~'\b$topic\b'\" then=\"selected\" else=\"nada\" }$percnt >  $formfield(Showthis) $formfield(Andthis) </option>" }%
</select>

The select word could be in the search with header and footer but I had so so so many tries before it worked, so it was better to simplify the search as much as possible.. And I guess anytime now someone will say 'why didn't you just..' hmrpf!
