This might sound quite funny . Can you please tell me step by step how to create the type of multiple select block like you find at the top of this page, for searching nodes.

When I click on that, I get a picture of the Drupal home page. If you're talking about that really, this is not the module that does it.

I've seen someone that had code to do something like that, but don't have it at hand right now.

Actually I don't think that you get what I want (image does not upload) . Look at the block below however ( selecting project, version, components, category etc ) I want to use similar to give a taxonomy search functionality to my site. Thanks

I guess I don't understand. Those are simple select lists. Taxonomy Browser gives the option to either do select lists or checkboxes, which internally are very similar.

Yes indeed Taxonomy Browser gives the option of select list or checkboxes , and I have ticked select list as well as included categories . The prize question is how do I call up that block of categories/terms that will enable user to perform a content search ? Category Browser gives me a full page search form but all I want is a compact widget/block like below. I am sure you don't understand for the reason that it apperas a very basic taxonomy feature and you should be wondering why I don't gt it.

Would you want this as a block, for example in a sidebar? Would you also want the capability to limit by content type?

Thanks for your interest so far. I think I must give some visual description. Please see some examples that I have placed at this location : http://www.powerpublish.co.uk/example.gif .
I need to create a bock like that either to place at content top , bottom or side.

I am finding that this would be a very good feature. I ran across this great looking tabbed browsing block (left column) and would love to create this for my taxomoy terms on my drupal site. Does anybody have any ideas?

I really have no idea how to do a tabbed block, but would love to know how. It would be great for this module and a couple others that I have.

Wow, thanks Nancy for this. I look super hard for something like this but I guess I stink.

So do I some times. I think I simply searched on "tabbed block".
