# Search using 2 dropdown boxes

 * I’ve searched for a solution extensively and can’t find one. I want to be able
   to search for posts based on their existence in 2 categories and I want these
   categories to be displayed in 2 dropdown boxes.
 * The first drop down box would be location e.g. The child categories of Country(
   Boston, New York, San Francisco). The second drop down box would be Services 
   e.g.(Apartment, House, Condo). I want people to be able to search Boston for 
   either All Services or just one service i.e. Apartment.
 * Any help is appreciated. Thanks

 * Sorry, not seen anything that hits a solution along these lines. I’d look at 
   the plugins that extend the search facilities in WordPress and see if they might
   be adapted:

 * just came out today, I used it, and it works well for me, I’m using WP 2.6
 * hope it helps you all, and I’m spreading the word around with similar queries
   because I myself have been exploring so many options to the point of frustration!
