Multiple select box to search keywords?

Multiple select box to search keywords?
I have an html interface to the db. I would like to have the search for keywords be in a multiple-select list. Is this possible? Thanks.

Not really. (Well, possible, but not practical.)

When you use a multiple select list, the search terms are sent to the script in a form like

term1~~term2~~term3

The fields in the record are also in that format.

If a person selects, for example, term1 and term3, records with
term1~~term3~~term4
would be returned, but not ones with
term1~~term2~~term3

Did that make any sense at all?
