I've been having problems submitting a question to this forum so sorry
in advance if this is a repeat.

I am not looking for code examples, just a pointer in the right
direction as far as design. I am trying to do a search based on
information form 4 select boxes. None of the select boxes are mandatory
so there could be a lot of possible combinations.

search for field one, field one and two, field two and three, etc.

I know an if else statement for all the possible combinations would not
be the right way to go. Should I use Ferret or Sphinx to do a search
like this or is there a better way.

Thanks in advance.
