Custom Searches

[GreyPebble]

Hi I am trying to create a custom search facility to sell tyres. I am trying to make three select menus search as a quick search does. For example value of first select menu and value of second select and value of third select together searched for in the same way as a quick search searches the products.

Further Detail: Tyres are sold by size which involve three variables width, profile and wheel size. I am creating a drop down select menu from each of these variables with different numbers e.g If you slected the following from the select menus...

Select 1: 205
Select 2: 55
Select 3: 16

...the following search term would be inputted for search:

'205 55 16'

as if you had entered 205 55 16 into the quick search text box.

You can see an example of this at: http://www.raceandroad.com/index2.asp in the main body of the page.

Any ideas??

Hi

I'm not very sure if what you want can be done based on the Simple Search. It might be possible if you configure the Advanced Searching . In the Actinic Advanced Users guide for V8 there are topics on how to configure the Advacned Search. I think want you want can be achieved using the topic "Joining Search Terms together in Different Ways" . If you do not have the guide its available for download from HERE.

If anyone else can think up of something else please let us know.
