[Plugin: WP Custom Fields Search] Add section headings to search form

  • I am wondering if there is any way to break up the widget search form into sections without affecting the search functionality.

    For example, I am doing a site that searches herbs by their actions, latin name, conditions treated, etc. So the search form gets long and many of the fields are very similar. So if I could have a heading called “Actions” that I could then have several different kinds of actions searches and then another section for other kinds of searches.

    Presently this is easily done by placing more than one sidebar widget with each widget populated as above. But then I cannot search items in different widgets at the same time.

    Any ideas?

    Thinking about the above more:
    The best way of adding section breaks is make “sectionbreak” a data type (joiner) in the form builder. Then display the name of the sectionbreak in a styled manner (perhaps that could be an input type??).

    That would give the option to choose Section Break as one of your fields in the search form.

    In the search form widget, a section heading would appear corresponding to the order in which it was placed. But as the search pointer moves down the array, it will not return anything for the sectionbreak as it has no value.

    So I think I have the concept, but I don’t have the coding knowledge. Anyone out there know how to do this?

    Thanks,
    Glenn
