Hello,

I'm trying to acieve a type of Search which is commonly found on many websites today. I've attached a screenshot of that search field because a picture speaks a thousand words. I'm trying to put it in my header as is customary with such search fields.

In the dropdown selection there will be: ALL, vocabulary1, vocabulary2, keywords, Users (ie usernames, real-names and profile fields), Groups, Blogs, Stories, Events, Jobs, FAQ, and other node-types.

Would you be so kind as to provide something like this? If I'm asking the wrong people and if you know of any other module that already does something like this, I would greatly appreciate your directions.

Many thanks in advance

matrixfighter,

This is out of scope for the search config module but what you want to do can be done with some Form API and theming magic. I can't tell you exactly how but the best place to start is the form api docs. Goodluck.

Awhile back I did up a module to accomplish this. Your post was the nudge I needed to post this. See http://drupal.org/project/search_type. It'll take a few hours for the release to show up. I didn't include categories. That could be added, but I suspect it would be messy.
