Using a search form with multi-select dropdowns in search input

Hi there,

I’m really impressed with FF in that I’m sooo close getting a search form working with a view of saved entries. Just one problem…

I have one form that serves as a data entry form. I created a view of the saved entries. I then created a search form to filter the content in the view and placed the search form above the view in FF.

Where I’m running into an issue is that several of the fields I’d like to search on are multi-select dropdown boxes. In the data entry form, these dropdowns can be multi-selectable. If I create Lookup dropdown fields in the search form based on the data entry values, and allow multi-selection in each field, when I search using more than 1 selection on any field, I get no results.

If I only select 1 option in the multi-select dropdown in the search, the results are correct. It’s just selecting more than 1 in the multi-select that shows no search results. I verified the test data should show that some entries should come back in this case.

Is multi-selection in one field considered an ‘AND’ condition on a search in FF?

Is there anything I should check for in my view or search form settings? If I can get this one thing working, I’d be through the moon, but don’t know if it’s a plugin limitation or if I am just not seeing where to allow this in the settings.

Thanks for any thoughts!
