 * Hey,
 * I’ve been scratching my head the past days and getting quite desperate for a 
   solution.
 * I’m trying to build a search from 2 user inputs. This is the code I currezntly
   have:
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).
   Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_
 * However! This outputs:
 * `?s=TYPED_IN_THE_INPUT_BOX&s=SELECTED_IN_DROPDOWN`
 * this ofcourse only searches for the last &s= in the url, so the input text is
   completely ignored…
 * the following search url works however:
 * `?s=TYPED_IN_THE_INPUT_BOX&SELECTED_IN_DROPDOWN`
 * So dropping the s= from the search url filters my posts perfectly.. But I can’t
   find a way to build such a search query… I’ve been googeling and reading tutorials
   for days now, and can’t seem to find anything.
 * Any ideas? Thanks so much in advanced

 * I’ve been thinking about using php and http_build_query, but then I have no idea
   how to get the user inputs into strings so I can use the http_build_query
