The search module is a little inflexible with drupal, i agree!
I would like it to be possible for users to select what category to search in on the basic search. this is possible on the advanced search (although by way of a rather ugly box filled with all the different taxonomy options). i would like a drop down select option to chose taxonomoy category on basic search.
anyone know how to do this?
cheers

I have been rummaging around on the forums for a while now, and also faffing around with faceted search. but i want something simpler - a dropdown of taxonomy terms on the basic search UI, so that the user can limit their search according to 'university' (one of my taxonomy terms). it is possible to order the search according to taxonomy term with faceted search module, and also to limit it on the advanced search page. but how would i do this on the basic search block?

I too would love to have a better way to display the taxonomy than the unwieldy scroll box -- I'd prefer to separate them out and have some be checkboxes, some dropdowns, etc. (maybe using Taxonomy Superselect or a similar method). Anyone have ideas about how to do this? thanks.
