Greetings,

I read quickly through this thread: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/215350/

I need to create an Advanced Search Form. What I would like to do is provide as many as 3 drop-down picklists where each one is a defined category set in Exp Eng. Then base the search on a combined category search like category=“1|2|3”. Is that possible to have multiple category pick lists?

Thanks,
Bob.

Hey there R.K.Foster,

Thank you for posting your question.

The first thing that comes to mind is SuperSearch.

I did some looking around and this seems like what you are after. Does that sound right?

Cheers,

Shane,

I guess you know how to “look around” a little better than I do. :cheese:

Yes, the link to foamcow is what I wanted to do. I was hoping to stay within Exp Eng’s own tags instead of using php code, as this solution does. But, I keep telling myself that I’m going to try Exp Eng add-on development sometime. Would that be overkill here to create those search results via php?

Thanks for the tip.
Bob.

Hey Bob,

Sounds good!

I do not think that it is overkill at all. It’s a great way to dive deeper with ExpressionEngine.

Cheers,
