CCK Search by Field
I believe this question has been asked before, but I see no clear answer. I have a site with a simple CCK nodetype with a few text fields. We need to implement a 'scholarly' search whereby one can limit one's search by year, Volume, author, or limit his search to the Title field. We want something akin to the author, subject, date feature here:

The Faceted Search module I believe may have this functionality, but neither the stable nor beta version will run correctly on the PHP 4 live server and even the stable one doesn't run on my local PHP 5 dev. server. :(
Faceted Search is quite a complicated module. My simple approach would be to just run a regular old text search based on the fields submitted. I would have to add an index or two, but aside from that, I think it would work.
Are there any better suggestions?
Thanks!

Give it another chance?
AFAIK, there are no other readily available solutions for per-field search than Field Indexer + Faceted Search at the moment. You may disable the faceted browsing if you do not need it.
You might want to try the latest version, 1.0 beta4. Both PHP 4 and 5 are supposed to work. Please report any issue you encounter in Faceted Search's issue queue so we can make it work if it doesn't already.
Note that there was never a "stable" version of Faceted Search; the 0.x series were alpha versions, and now we're at the beta stage.
Cheers!
Thank you
I will have a look.
No chance for Drupal 6?
Does that mean there is no way however obscure that I can search only specific CCK fields in Drupal 6? This sounds incredible. So the only way to search CCK fields would be to write a PHP script that goes through the MySQL Database?
