Simple solution for adding a searchable table to my site?

    As one of the features of my site I’d like visitors to run a quick search to see if I service their area.

    From the back end, I would like to populate a table of my wp database with select zipcodes.

    When visitors to the site type in their zipcode they will be served one of two messages: “Yes! We serve your area. No, your area will be added soon!”

    Is there a plugin that will allow me to do this? If not, can anyone tell me the simplest way to add this feature to my site?

    Thank you.

    I’m sure this is an easy task, I just don’t have an advanced knowledge of databases and how to us PHP to call data from them.

    Ok, just figuring this out on my own (thanks community for alll the help </sarcasm>)

    I will have to use search.php and and make a searchpage.php to show the results. I will load the plugin “search everything” to control what results are returned. I will create a page that just contains zip codes and I’ll exclude this from being listed in my navigation via the “exclude pages” plugin.

    I’ll give this go and perhaps report back for the benefit of some other newbie who finds themselves struggling with a similar problem.
