 * The plugin still works, but is (i believe) the only plugin that provides this
   type of search (options). Any chance that this plugin get developed further in
   the future?

 * I’ve put out a minor update today, this fixes a few small bugs and pulls in a
   few bits of code that I’ve written for bespoke projects.
 * I’m hoping to do a bigger rewrite soon, when this happens I will be moving to
   some kind of paid for model, possibly a free version and a premium version. I
   am hoping this will fund the time I need to push forward with development and
   to support the project, so there should be a lot more upgrades / fixes on the
   way.

 * I wouldn’t mind if you turn the plugin in a paid version. I just discovered this
   plugin and I am struggling to get it to work with custom fields in custom post
   types. I find it strange that there is no good solution for this. It seems to
   me that this type of drill-down search is pretty common, like in real estate,
   ecommerce etc. Surely there must be a demand for this.
 * Anyway, I hope you will be successfull in overhauling and monetizing your plugin.

 * Are you sure it still works with the latest WP version 3.5.1?
    I could not get
   it to work. I did a fresh install to test. No other plugins, just one post with
   a custom field and two tags. The plugin returns no results at all.

 * [@eagerbob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eagerbob/), it’s definitely working
   on my test install of WordPress 3.5.1 .
 * On your site the search does return one result if you don’t type anything into
   the fields so I can only assume that the fields aren’t matching up to the db 
   correctly?
 * If the “tag” field represents a wordpress tag then the correct widget config 
   would be:
 *  Data Type=Tag
 * then I would usually use:
 *  Compare=Equals
    Widget=DropDown
 * although you could use:
 *  Compare=Words In (or Phrase In)
    Widget=Text Input
