The following instructions only apply to the thematic catalog whose name is catalog name. All the field names must belong to the table associated with the named catalog.
`searched (optional)'
A comma separated list of fields to be searched. These fields must be of type char, varchar or text. If not specified, all the fields of the listed types are used. All the fields must be fully qualified by prepending the name of the table in the following way: table.field.
`extracted (optional)'
A comma separated list of fields to be extracted. If not specified, all the fields of the table are extracted and available for display, See section csearch.html. This instruction is used to limit the number of fields extracted from the database, if the records are made of many fields and only a few are needed for display. All the fields must be fully qualified by prepending the name of the table in the following way: table.field.
`order (optional)'
An ORDER BY clause to sort the records found. The fields mentioned in this clause must be fully qualified by prepending the name of the table in the following way: table.field.
`encoding (optional, default ISO-8859-1)'

Here is an example configuration file: 

#
# Catalog.pm configuration file
#
#
# HTML code that separates two component of the path
#
path_separator = &nbsp;/&nbsp;
#
# Label for the root of the hierarchy tree
#
path_root_label = <b>Ze root</b>
#
# When cgi-bin is invoked with path_info instead of regular arguments,
# pretend that these parameters were used. It must at least contain
# the name of the catalog (name=<name>) and may also contain a style, for instance.
# The id and path parameters are automaticaly calculated from the path_info.
#
pathcontext_params = name=urlcatalog
#
# Search specifications
#
search
        #
        # Specifications for urlcatalog thematic catalog
        #
        urlcatalog
                #
                # Search these fields
                #
                searched = urldemo.url,urldemo.comment
                #
                # Only extract these fields for display
                #
                extracted = urldemo.url,urldemo.comment,urldemo.created
                #
                # ORDER BY clause to sort the records found
                #
                order = urldemo.url asc
        end
end
#
# Encoding of the catalog data (default is ISO-8859-1)
#
#encoding = ISO-8859-1
