 * I am looking for a search plugin that will allow me to search meta data stored
   in custom fields. I have already tried this one:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-custom-fields-search/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-custom-fields-search/)
 * However, I need a plugin that can handle multiple entries for a single field.
   The site I am working on is designed for a real estate agency. The current search
   form (using the plugin above) allows users to search for houses by selecting 
   a single neighborhood from a dropdown menu. Instead of a dropdown menu, I would
   like to use a list of checkboxes so that the the user can search for houses in
   multiple neighborhoods at one time. I have converted all of the dropdown menu
   items into checkboxes on the HTML side but the plugin only searches for houses
   in the last checkbox selected. For example, if I selected: ‘Dallas’ ‘Boston’ ‘
   New York’ the search engine will only search for houses in New York.
 * Anyone know of a better search plugin for custom fields?

 * I have the same problem and I’ve been waiting for a solution since last November…
