    Idea or Suggestion Guided Search

    I have tried searching for this option via the forums and the addons section, but haven't seen or missed it.

    I am looking for a "guided search." example...http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCateg...l-Motherboards

    off to the left you can pick several things to help narrow what your looking for e.g. price, socket type, cpu type, manufacturer. it basically looks like its a new categories box once your inside your desired category.

    So on my site for example...

    http://securfocus.biz/products

    I would navigate to video surveillance, then cameras and boom...this is where I would want it...so that if you wanted to look at cameras that only cost between $50-100 you would click that "category" or guided search.

    I hope this isnt to confusing, but you can see how newegg has it, once you get down like 2 or 3 branches from the top category that guided search pops up...which is basically like categories w/o all the categories....

    anyways....is there something out there like this....or is this an option already in zencart that can be accomplished with a little work?

    thanks for reading this long post, and thank you for any input!!!!

    is this not something that can be done?

    is there a way to turn off the main categories on the side once you get "x" amount of categories deep? or maybe move it along the top, and bring up a new set of categories off to the side?

    I've not seen anything like that for zencart... maybe there is an oscommerce plugin that someone can use as a basis for a new project...

    thank you for looking at this post! I will look at the oscommerce area, and see if i cant find something to post up. Maybe someone can port it if I find.

    Thank you again in advance to anyone that has anymore input.
