 * I need to create a searchable database of tartans, searchable by several different
   categories of keyword (tartan, family, colour base)
 * Not so good at coding, so a plugin-based solution is preferable.
 * Any ideas or pointers?

 * Try out the “taxonomy picker” plugin. After loads of research I’ve found quality,
   compatible pLugins are slim on the ground for custom taxonomy searches. I’d pay
   for a premium plugin that offers this functionality no worries. Surprised, considering
   presumed need for same, that no one has developed a robust solution here:) A 
   lot of themes have this level of taxonomy search functionality built in (woo 
   themes/woo commerce for product searches for example) but there doesn’t seem 
   to be too much in the way of plugins
 * If you find a better one let me know:)
