texte = HiI am doing a search of products by price which works fine and now I want to narrow the search based on user selections of manufacturers from a list.It is required that the results match only any of the maufacturers selected all others being ignored.I have this working fine with a womanufacturerdatarq=manufacturer1,manufacturer2,manufacturer3 etc. in my search criteria along with my prices, but the problem occurs when I have manufacturers where part of a name is common.In this case cars, when Rover is selected it also brings back results for Land Rover and visa versa. I have put [url] in my initial form but for WO searches this doesn't seem to work.The problem here is WO search is not exact enough, it finds all my search words in the manufacturer field, I need EQ or BW searches of multiple manufacturers on the same field but also I need to have them RQ-edI need a tag like WEQO, unless anyone can suggest another way of doing this?Paul Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
