Multiple Category Serach engine

Aug 4th, 2009

Okay there seems to be a disturbing gap in my knowlege! I know how to make forms, I know how to make a guestbook.

What i don't know how to do is make a search engine.

Say i have a simple html based form

<form action="?" method="get" >
                      <table summary="Search form" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3">
<th>Bedrooms:</th>
                              <td>
                                  <select name="bedrooms">
                                      <option value="1">1</option>
                                      <option value="2">2</option>

                                  </select>
                              </td>
                          </tr>
                          
                          <tr>
                              <td colspan="4" class="submitrow"><input type="submit" value="Find your Property" /></td>
                          </tr>

how do i get that to show all the things on one page that have say 3 bedrooms one bathroom. Or at least what t do i google to find the answers? Have looked through every tutorial I can find on froms and found nothing and have tried various strings of multiple cateregory search engine and creating a search engine but not found anything remotly relevent.

Any useful links or clue would be very much appreciated.
