I'm really sorry for what i said before, I never use this forum, and being confused by the layout, only saw the post saying 'try to search yourself'. I'd just spent 2 hours tryingt to figure it out, and 1 hour searching the forum for similar things. So i wasn't really looking for that response, so I appologise.

Anyway, I'm not sure that the above posts really answer what I was looking for. I've got it working, but the method I'm using is a little odd...

With the traditional tickboxes in HTML, the value was still included in the 'search string' regardless of whether or not anything was assigned to it...Using a list rather than a tickbox (http://www.uproared.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi - see advanced search) it doesn't include a value in the string when you dont select anything.

I'd much prefer to use normal tick boxes though, so i want the three options: "yes, no, doesn't matter" (for most of them). I was previously assigning no value to "doesn't matter", but this simply made the script search for no value in that field (thus returning no results). Could anyone please help, or tell me if any of the above replies would be of any help.

Additionally, is it possible to also search for multiple entries in a field? (e.g. in the Cuisine - select both Mexican and Greek by ctrl-clicking?)

And finally, sorry for my uptightness before :)

thank-you
