After considering your common scenario ;-) I still don’t see why you don’t use $$ViewTemplateDefault for your customer views, 1 $$ViewTemplate for admin and hide the lookup views from the web if you have a concern for people trying to open them.
Making sure only the views you actually want visible on the web is good practice. Trawl through all of those crazy lookup views and use the design properties box – your lookups will still work.
Jake I am not sure how having a separate form is any different to the $$ViewTemplateDefault after all it is a form isn’t it ? I can understand if you want to use editable fields but you could do this anyway couldn’t you as in your Simple Search box.
One other thing, I understand some search engines are not overly happy following parameterised URLs which could lead to problems (if this is important to you).
Niel,
