Hi,

I am starting to build a business directory (yellow pages).

I would like to have categories and subcategories like for example:


Home > Properties > Apartments > Apartment for Rent

1)
When a user is viewing the subcategory "Apartment for Rent", I want him to be able to select from a list of states and sub-list of cities in order to localize his search.

2)
Besides the search-box where the user is putting in his search-term, I do also need a second "search-box" (or drop-down-filed) on which the user is able to select from a list of states and sub-list of cities in order to localize his search.


BTW: I do have a full list of ZIP-Codes, state-names and city-names available.



How can I make something like this work ?
Is there a plugin or a ready-made solution available ?



Appreciate your help !
