Well, flexinode search is really great, but unusable for many flexinode uses as it doesn't support more flexinode types.
When i downloaded flexisearch, i assumed it will render form, which will respect my flexinode content type, such as:
I have type "FooBar" consisting of:
1. textfield named "Groupname"
2. checkbox named "From USA?"
3. multiselect menu "Language" with options "English, German, Czech"
and so on
then flexisearch form should not be rendered as:
Groupname: [_____________________]
From USA: [_____________________]
Language: [_____________________]
But as:
Groupname: [_______________________]
[checkbox] From USA
Language: [select]English German Czech[/select]
This will be true flexisearch rendering it as "parameters" search.
Do you think this is good idea? I will try to submit a patch to flexisearch this week, should it be a part of flexisearch or should i create separate Module for this, as "Flexinode parameters search" ?

Any progress on this?
I would like to contribute (if my phpskills allow). as I need this for a client's site.

hi meba,
Can you submit that patch you mentioned..it's been a while since I looked at the flexisearch.module code, so it will help speed things up.
Thanks

Hi, sorry for delay. Progress:
- the search form is completed, but didn't have enough time to complete search core for doing search.
I will post my progress tomorrow, ok?

You can find my version of module here: http://new.klyd.cz/flexisearch.phps
Go to line 142 (or search string "flexisearch meba") to see most of the changes. Now it needs only search code...
