[ka-Map-users] queryByAttributes and projection

(Cross-posted to the Mapserver list)...

I have a modified ka-map application with some customized search tools.
One of these tools allows the user to pick a town from a dropdown and
zoom to it.  This uses a queryByAttributes process and it was working
well.


The data for the project is projected in UTM in its native format.  The
customer asked if we could display the data in lat/long (EPSG:4326).  If
I change the projection and extent in the .Map files, the map displays
properly, but the search tools no longer function, I get a "no matching
results" error.

This seems pretty strange, as I am only querying by attributes, not
spatially.  So I wouldn't think projection would be an issue.  But
apparently it is.  Does anyone have some insight as to how I can correct
this (other than reprojecting the data)?
