search by category and display results

  • does anyone know how to get or create a search box AND category listing drop down like on ebay (for example) in wordpress?

    This of course would need to search a database and display the results. I have built databases using MySQL in the past for non CMS based sites, but it was nothing real complex. And by “Category” i do not mean where posts are placed, but let’s say music, dance, theory, etc…

    Not looking for exact instructions, but information or some direction would be helpful. Thanks in advance!!

    on second thought, is it possible to create “categories” for music, dance, theory and then create posts linked to each?

    meaning… for category music…
    create a post called 70’s music
    create a post called 80’s music
    create a post called 90’s music

    so when someone does a search for “70’s” and selects music, it should put that post up

    would this work for what i need?
