Hello everyone,
As described in the forum topic located at http://drupal.org/node/144790, I'm in need of a special kind of search functionality for my Drupal project. As far as I understand, the functionality that I require is not yet available. Therefore, I would like to sponsor a project that will create a module (or build functionality otherwise) to achieve this. The sponsorship could either be financially, or by providing programming-hours of a programmer that hasn't programmed anything in Drupal before but has quite some PHP experience and could be very helpful with some guidance.
What I'm looking for is functionality as found on for example http://www.contentcorner.nl/ where the user can search for a specific term (try 'book') and then narrow down the search by selecting specific categories (right side of that website once the initial search has been performed). Another example is http://www.funda.nl/WoningAanbod/Koop/ (try 'amsterdam' and have a look at the right side of the result pages).
If you think you can create this kind of functionality, please leave a message in this topic.
Of course, the code that will be produced can be shared back to the community, so that other can profit from this narrow-down search thing as well.

You're looking for faceted navigation...
So you might want to have a look at my Faceted Search module, which provides exactly that kind of functionality. Feel free to contact me to discuss specific needs.
The Semantic Search project also deserves a look, and it recently got a major update.

Great!
Hello David,
I've installed your module and it indeed seems to provide the functionality that I need. Great! I've send you a message in order to get in contact with each other.
