 * I’m trying to create an advanced search function with drop down options that 
   pull from particular information in posts. Here is a dummy example:
 * Number of People: (drop down of numbers)
    Color: (drop down of color options)
   State: (drop down of states)
 * Depending on the answers in the drop down, results will be filtered to reflect
   what people are looking for. I’m not sure how to reference specific parts of 
   my posts to achieve proper search results.
 * Any suggestions? Is there a plugin for this? Do I need to put the relevant information
   into tables within my post?
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

 * Yes, but I haven’t found one that works this way yet. I’m still continuing my
   search, but thought someone may have a good suggestion.

 * Actually – I may have found the solution! WP Custom Search. Still playing around
   with it, but I think this may be what I’m looking for.
