We welcome all input. Thats why we are here!
First, what about changing the preloaded drop down boxes to simple input fields.
We can do this and we would have to use the "Like" to get enough data in the results. Will consider.
Second, how about changing the SQL operator for all of the criteria to Like statements and automatically append the '%' to both sides of each imput value so that the search becomes a 'contains' search.
It would offer more flexability in the searches but on the other hand, there will be more data sometimes than is desired.
Our plan is to get all the rated boats in the search database first and then expand the search ability as our users begin to discover the new approach.
Thanks and feel free to call or email Me or Stuart to discuss.
