    Hi all,
    I'm building some custom functionality for a client. They need a custom search with a couple of options.

    The site is setup like this:
    Note: widget means imaginary product here, not a WP widget =).

    Widget Category
    -Type of Widget (Subcategory to Widget Category - Several of these)
    --Name of specific widget (This will be the name of the post)
    ---Info about specific widget (This will be the post content)

    I need to find a plugin or develop a custom search that would allow the user to select from a drop down box that looks like this:

    Search By: -Type of Widget
    -Name of Widget
    -Widget Info

    then there will be a text box where a keyword can be entered, and it will search either the subcategories, post titles, or post content for this keyword, depending on the select box.

    I guess I could create some custom functionality to run different database queries using LIKE on the appropriate fields. Can anyone think of better way of doing this? Or a plugin/mod that already does something like this that I could just modify?

    I think I have found an example of the plugin, do you think that this is using the advanced search plug in for wordpress?
