echo $qstring; produces: SELECT * FROM current WHERE FName like '%%'
or LName like '%%' or Add1 like '%%' or Add2 like '%%' or City like '%
%' or State like '%%' or Zip like '%%' or XCode like '%%' Which is
correct except for it being empty.

I tried to echo $search, but since it redirects to another page I
lose the value of $search.

Any idea what is causing it to redirect to edit.php?

I'd have to see the condition check for the redirection.
