Hey everyone,

The heads at a2iwheels.com are looking to create a search function to add to a static block on our site.

Our goal is to have 3 drop down menus (one for year, make, and model) to let a user search by their car exactly.

Example:

Drop down 1: 2005
Drop down 2: Ford
Drop down 3: Fusion

SUBMIT

...Searches for any product with “2005 Ford Fusion” (EXACT PHRASE) in its attributes, be it description, in-depth, etc.

We would like to have multiple searches that each search a different category (i.e. the “Wheels” static block will have a 3 drop down search that searches only for products in the “Wheels” category).

I was not sure if this should be in the “Programming” forum or “How Do I” so I apologize if this has been posted incorrectly.

Any code ideas or other sites that have this type of search already in place?

I know their is another gentleman in the Magento community that sells the code for a similar system, but I don’t believe it fit our needs.
