Try looking into views_fastsearch.module. It lets you leverage the search module's database for Views' exposed filters, creating a reasonably good facsimile of a per-field search. On Sunday 01 June 2008, Fred Jones wrote:
I believe this question has been asked before, but I see no clear answer. I have a site with a simple CCK nodetype with a few text fields. We need to implement a 'scholarly' search whereby one can limit one's search by year, Volume, author, or limit his search to the Title field. We want something akin to the author, subject, date feature here:

The Faceted Search module I believe may have this functionality, but neither the stable nor beta version will run correctly on the PHP 4 live server and even the stable one doesn't run on my local PHP 5 dev. server. :(
Faceted Search is quite a complicated module. My simple approach would be to just run a regular old text search based on the fields submitted. I would have to add an index or two, but aside from that, I think it would work.
Are there any better suggestions?
Thanks!
