Modify Advanced Search Fields

[dimar]

I am trying to modify the advanced search page fields, but have, after much anxiety, still found nothing that even comes close to answering this question. Obviously, there must be a workaround for this somwhere?!?!

HERE is a link to the aesthetically modified Advanced Search page I am working on. This advanced search function does not yet work, as it returns a blank page upon field selections.

Anyway, now I want to make these new fields (shown below and on the link above) searchable on the Advanced Search Page. Because I have placed all the relevant information right in the product description, these fields can be made to ONLY search the product description and NOT other fields in the database!

This are the fields that I want to add (and remove):

Select Your Search Criteria:
> DropDown 1 - Product Family
> DropDown 2 - Application
> DropDown 3 - Material
> DropDown 4 - Type of Cut
> DropDown 5 - Cutting Diameter
> Text Box 1 - Search by EDP#

(Then Click) Search

A) The keyword search box (the one with the search help link in it) must be removed as it causes an error when no keyword is placed in it.

B) The six criteria must be able to all have values selected, or just one, and still display results on the results page.

IMPORTANT!!! >>>The fields above can all search from the PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AS ALL THIS INFORMATION IS LISTED IN THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION (makes it more simple).

Please let me know if you know anything about this or maybe just the URL where this contribution/modification is.

Your help would be so very much appreciated

I'm also looking for this, could you give some clue as how you did this?

thanks in advance!
