Multiple fields search ?
Hi,
I need to have Links search multiple fields.
like suppose i wanted to use it for a People Finder site, i want people to be able to search my First name and/or Last name and/or Country and/or proffession , etc.....
is that possible using Links ?

Thanks

Not very easy...There are some work-arounds like searching for "categories" within the LINKS pages. But having multiple search fields is complex and would need a lot of tweaking of the search.cgi file.

Regards,

this is easy.. oldmonkey's thing is one step closer..

all you need to do is have multiple form things just like the category thing.. if the field is a number it will check to see if it is LESS than or greater than..
