DBConnect and panel linked form search

I can run this search and get results:

index="vpn" host="VPN_ACLs" | join IP_Address [search index="vpn" host="VPN_Groups"] | search Group_Name="DTIS" |table Group_Name,IP_Address,Dest_IP,Dest_Mask,Protocol,Operation,Port

In a form: NOTE: I added spaces so answers markup didn't hide the code

< searchTemplate>
index="vpn" host="VPN_ACLs" | join IP_Address [search index="vpn" host="VPN_Groups"] | search Group_Name=%group% |table Group_Name,IP_Address,Dest_IP,Dest_Mask,Protocol,Operation,Port
< /searchTemplate>
<fieldset>
< input type="text" token="group" >
<label>VPN Group</label>
< default>< /default>
< suffix>*< /suffix>
< /input>

How do I get the %group% into the search correctly?

Sorry folks, I'm an idiot.

The variable had % around it in the search not $. Once I changed it to $, it worked perfectly!
