Where did you add that?  If your "verses" is a separate metaname you 
will need to use that meta name like in my example above.

There's a function called build_query().  I assume that's where you are 
placing that?  If you are placing that too early in the build_query() 
function then later it's going to get a metaname appended.

If you are not using a metaname then what you are doing should work, 
although I thought you said $q->param('verses') is before it's 
converted into your verses "keyword" id.

I don't have enough information to really help.  But I can offer these 
suggestions:

1) make sure you can indeed search your verses keywords from the command 
line (without using swish.cgi).

2) look through the build_query() subroutine and make sure you 
understand (mostly) what it's doing.  Add in "print STDERR $query"
at various places to see what's actually getting set.

3) Turn on debugging or add code to print the command line used to run 
swish-e and make sure it's what you tried in step 1.
