 * I’m creating a product search functionality for a website I’m working on. The
   generated HTML code look something like the following:
 *     ```
       <form action="<?=bloginfo('siteurl')?>" id="searchform" method="get">
   
          <input type="text" name="s" placeholder="Search for..." />
   
          <select style="background:#fff; width:180px; border:none; padding:10px;" name="s">
             <option name="cookers">Cookers</option>
             <option name="refrigerators">Refrigerators</option>
             <option name="clerical">Clerical</option>
             <option name="drinks-facilities">Drinks Facilities</option>
          </select>
   
          <input type="submit" value="Search" id="searchsubmit" />
   
       </form>
       ```
   
 * The URL at present is ‘[http://siteurl.com/search/searchterm&#8217](http://siteurl.com/search/searchterm&#8217);
   and I’m unable to pass the selected category to the url to then display only 
   products within the selected category.
 * Any suggestions? Or anyone know of any plugins worth a look?
 * Disclaimer: Don’t judge me on the inline styling 😉 that will go on the live 
   site.
