do you know of any module that can filter by a multiple dropdown method? Here is an example of the kind of search functionality we want: http://www.askaspn.com/Home

For example, custom category 1 (dropdown - state) and custom category 2 (dropdown - programs) and custom category 3 (dropdown - markets) - with a possible (fuzzy) keyword search/content search on top of that?

Also, if nothing was selected from dropdowns, there would just be a simple content search.

If there are no results, we would need a rollup of “featured” or “related” articles to appear beneath a “Sorry, No Results” message.

We are not opposed to doing some .net work to access the information of a module which already exists. Creating a search module that can integrate with a prexisting module would be ideal - for example, adding these categories and search terms to the querystring.

We are currently looking at creating an extension of DNN which includes a "rollup" module - this will allow users to enter an image, set custom column values (state, market, program, etc.) and a lookup field that selects the associated page (and its associated metadata). However, this is very similar in functionality to many article modules (other than the search), so I am hoping there is something out there already.

Thanks for your time!
