Anyone have any guidance on this?
Try a plugin like this or googling for ‘Advanced Search Plugin WordPress’

Hey, thanks for the reply. I am looking to do more than just install a search plugin, I think. For example, if you go to http://www.cleansnipe.com/CAT-climb/harnesses-and-climbing-helmets.htm you’ll see a plus sign in some of the product boxes. If you click on it, it generates a search result… I’d like to do something similar to this, does that make sense? Do you know what it is called?
So it’s not a search you want, it looks like a link to a particular category. So your description and title gave the indication you wanted a search, with no examples it was very difficult to decipher what you were indeed looking for. You’re looking for information on Categories.
If you set up a good category structure, where posts can appear in more than one, you can set up navigation by just linking to those categories.
So if you had:
Climbing Equipment
– Harnesses
– Ropes
– Footwear
Brand
– North Face
– Kathmandu
You can include a post about North Face Harnesses in both Climbing Equip. > Harnesses and Brands > North Face.
This is how I believe a similar functionality could be achieved.
Then in WordPress you could see the list of items by going to:
yourdomain.com/category/climbing-equipment/harnesses/ or
yourdomain.com/category/brand/north-face/
You could add a + icon linked with one of the above URL’s. This is more of a high level explanation of how to achieve this. If you are planning on building a shop, you would need to clearly map out the crossovers of products into multiple categories. Hope this helps.
Good luck.
I will see what I can come up with, thanks for the help!
