Hi:
First, I really like the versatility of the new search.cgi. Being able to search specific fields is GREAT! Since I have all these fields with info in them (Animators, Directors, Title, Writer, etc), it is great to let people search on those specific fields to find the info they want.
I have made an advanced search page that allows people to search individual fields, so I thought I would share that. Feel free to grab the code and see how I did it, you might find it quite useful. You can preview this search at:
http://www.bcdb.com/bcdb/search.cgi?d=1
OK, this shows how to search individual fields. Anyone know how to search Category Titles only?
Also, Alex (if you are listening...) can we mod search to search the current search results? See, the only way I could make search individual fields work was to search only ONE individual field. I was not able to get this to search where Director = Chuck Jones and Writer = Michael Maltese... so, as an option, I thought it might work to first get all the Chuck Jones films, then search those results for Mike...
