Allow shapeindex in mapserver expressions

[palle@…]

[shapeindex] (or [shpidx] or [recno]) should be allowed in mapserver 
expressions to allow query on multiple shapeindices. Here is my original mail 
to the mapserver-users list, and Stephen Lime's answer:

The best way to implement would be by allowing you to query by index.
That is treat the index as a normal column in MapServer expressions.
That way you'd just use the itemquery and itemnquery modes.  That's a
lot easier to add then a totally new query mode.

Please file this as a feature enhancement and I'll add it to 3.7.

Hi all,

What I really would like is the INDEXNQUERY mode. This would allow me
to
find and display multiple shapes by index. However, this does not
exist.
I guess I could achieve the same result with a filter, but I am afraid
that performance wouldn't be up to standards. 
Does anyone have a suggestion regarding how to implement this? I am
normally using PERL mapscript for advanced purposes, but I would
prefer
a normal CGI solution.

Best regards

Whatever happened to this one? I see it's marked as duplicate, but there is no
reference to the bug it duplicates. I have tried all the below options
([shapeindex] and [shpidx] and [recno]) with filter as well as expression, to no
avail.

I reopened the above bug, because I couldn't find any info about what had
happened to it. It turned out to be my fault, I just didn't look in the
right place. I've tried to close it again, but don't know if I did it right.

Sorry about the commotion.

Best regards
