Content Management and Search Form Question (hope this works with PHP)

Hoping to do this via PHP...or WordPress.

I want to create a search form on my website that allows users to retrieve relevant results based on criteria selected from several drop down lists.

For example,
  • Price (Free, $7-$27, $27-$77)
  • Download Size (< MB, 1-9 MB, 10-20 MB)
  • Rating (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
This is just an example. So if someone chooses "Free", "1-9 MB", and "5" I would want all the products that fit that criteria (each would have it's own URL) to show up in a list with a 100 word description for each and a link to "Read full review".

Any WordPress Plugins or PHP scripts that will allow me to set this up easily? I assume I would put a code around the "price", "download size", and "rating" on each product page which is no problem...just looking for a resource on how to set this up (or buy a script/plugin to do it)

Thanks in advance!

Scott

    Why don't you just put the "Price", "Download Size", & "Rating" in their own category and (Free, $7-$27, $27-$77), (< MB, 1-9 MB, 10-20 MB), (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) in tags or maybe even sub categories.

    I know their is an "Advanced Search" Plugin for WordPress CMS. I never used it, but it is a pretty popular now.

    Either or I don't know how you will be able to do it without categorizing and/tagging them first, without hard coding your own advanced script.

      I'll look into it right away

      Any other suggestions? Might play around with a few...
