Checkboxes to add to advanced_search.php

[arthurema]

I am looking for a way to add checkboxes of predefined keywords to the advanced search page. It would be best to have a unique table of keywords in the admin interface that I could manage. This I already have in place and is similar to the following

 

tablename is searchword

column1 is word

column2 is search_key

 

so a query of

select 'search_key' from 'searchword' where word='*'

returns

odm alternative butterfly

 

a query of

select 'search_key' from 'searchword' where word='**'

returns

different spaced set of predefined keywords

 

I would like to see these checkboxes listed in thier own default, white background table similar to the default table that contains "Catagories - Price From - Price To - Date From - Date To" fields. Maybe even replace this particular search criteria table all together.

 

I have asked for similar assistance several times with no response. Is this too difficult?

 

Thanks so much.
