The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Then when a dataq entry is written to the server, along with it comes
a session id that was assigned from 1 to 10,000 when the user logged in.
For example, Rennaissance assigns a session id in their environment that
would be correlated to a number between 1 and max users. That number
will then be a data structure index in the program. Every statement will
access variables as x(sess_idx) = something rather than x = something.

Before you get too far into this, you should know that assigning sequential session id's is very, very, very bad in a web environment. As soon as someone figures that out, it will be easy to assume someone else's identity just by changing the session id. You must use a more random id in this environment. Two good options are using a GUID (or UUID -- forget what IBM refers to them as) or the _CIPHER MI's pseudo-random number generator.
