I've looked through the user manual and forums but couldn't find any thing addressing this . . .

I'm wondering if there are any resources to instruct me on how to create a search form utilizing multiple user input parameters referencing category tags that I would apply to each page.

So for example a form with the following inputs:

City (drop down selector)
Zip code (text input)
Category 1 (drop down)
Category 2 (drop down)
Category 3 (check box)
Category 4 (check box)

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

This is something for the new "Custom Meta Fields" feature to be found in the upcoming V6 release. A beta release is currently available in our V6 beta testing forum (http://www.wrensoft.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=9) as well as more information. Here is a sample site (http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/demos/fruitshop/) that demonstrates this feature.

You should also realize there's more to it than just creating a search form. You need to actually tell the search engine what counts as a City, what values on your web pages are Zip codes, etc. This is explained in the V6 Help file, but we will put up a tutorial as well on this. More information here (http://www.wrensoft.com/forum/showthread.php?p=11240#post11240).
