Hi, newbie here.
I'm using Drupal 7, Ubercart 3, and Views 3 to make an online store/article site. The customer is not happy with the existing vanilla Drupal search for the store, due to lack of exposed filter options for search results. I want to make a separate, programmatically created block, with its own exposed filter input and submit, that interfaces with Views 3; this block will be used to 'search' or filter products within one giant view. On top of this separate, detached search (with its own form and submit) I also want to keep the existing, pull down filters, to narrow down the content shown.
Does anybody have any ideas on what strategies I can use? Is this possible?
thanks for any help.
