    Looking for a 'filter plugin' for Wordpress (so people can filter on variables)

    Hi there,

    For a Wordpress based website I will launch soon I can not find a plugin for one feature I really like to have.

    Specifically, I'd like my visitors to search for casino reviews on variables (for example, 'Accepts = Canadians', 'Currency = CAD', 'Software = MicroGaming' AND 'review rating > 3').

    If you don't see what I mean, oggs . com (from forum member Simon) has a filter system in his menu.

    So, how would you do this: use (hidden) categories in WP or custom databases? How would you allow to filter on 'soft' variables (e.g. number of comments, changes all the time)? Are there Wordpress plugins out there who do (part of) what I want?

    Thanks!

    I had seen the plugin before though, and it seems to me like this plugin allows to automate certain action (e.g. you type 'cr 32Red' and the title becomes 'Casino Review 32Red' automatically), but I don't see how it could help in finding posts based on the categories they belong to?

    Maybe this will help, This code does something similar, filtering on categories...

    Sigh, sorry to edit but of course this forum has some darn bug in it that does not allow me to post code snippets correctly. Something close is here:
