I have a two pronged question. I have a client who would like to sell parts for cars. One of the search requirements he would like is to search by VIN.

1) Is there something in the base install I can configure to simulate searching for VIN?
2) Does anyone know of any mods that can accomplish this?


To give some background. if a customer entered a full VIN, one can determine the manufacturer, model and model year. So when entering products there would need to be searchable fields that would hold manufacturer, model and model year. The search then would have to parse the VIN and send that off to the search query.
