PHPRunner General questions

I would like to create a search form similar to the one found on http://www.oodle.com/ . It has 2 search fields. The first is the "what" which searches the database fields of "title", "description", and "category" and the second field searches the "where" of the database fields "city", "state" and "zip". Is it possible to program Php runner to do this and if so how with as much detail as possible. I already have each of these fields in the database but I do not like the basic search where you can only search on one field at a time. The advanced search is too much. I want the search like on oodle on top of a whole section of pages on a site.
Thanks in advance.

Tripp,
in general you can move advanced search form to the list page. This task requires some custom coding in the generated files.

But there is no common solution. You need to edit your ..._list.php, ..._search.php and corresponding htm pages in the templates directory manually.

However we don't have a ready to go solution for this.
