Hi Dean,

you may take a look to the two iRules below. They are outlining two different coding styles to achive what you've asked for...

"AND NOT with NE" Syntax

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    if { [set country [whereis [IP::client_addr]]] eq "" } then {
        set country "empty"
    }   
}
when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    set redir [class match -value -- $country contains country-redirect] 
    if { ( $country eq "AU" )  and 
         ( $redir ne "" ) and
         ( [URI::query [HTTP::uri] "pid"] ne "search" ) } then {
         Do whatever you want...
    } elseif { $redir ne "" } then {
        HTTP::redirect $redir 
    } else {
        HTTP::redirect "http://default.example.com/" 
    } 
}

"AND with EQ" Syntax

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
    if { [set country [whereis [IP::client_addr]]] eq "" } then {
        set country "empty"
    }   
}
when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    set redir [class match -value -- $country contains country-redirect] 
    if { ( $country eq "AU" ) and 
         ( $redir ne "" ) and not 
         ( [URI::query [HTTP::uri] "pid"] eq "search" ) } then {
         Do whatever you want...
    } elseif { $redir ne "" } then {
        HTTP::redirect $redir 
    } else {
        HTTP::redirect "http://default.example.com/" 
    } 
}

Cheers, Kai
