I've been starting to use the Searchable Properties more and more, and found them to be a great tool.
I'm looking to use them as a filter. However, I've sort of hit a roadblock about how to use them with products that have variable dimensions. Since the variable is stored on a per-product level, but that product could possibly have a number of different dimensions, the only real way to search against that would be to store the minimum dimensions available and have the user search that way - obviously not the best case scenario. Ideally I would like them to enter the width and height and then show them the products available. Since the product fits in a specified opening, it's not like they can choose from varied dimensions - they need that specific set of dimensions.
