Sometimes you want to let people search by checking boxes (for example, checking the options they want with a product). This is possible as of WSN version 5.1.24.
Open your advanced search template (Admin Panel -> Templates -> Manage Templates -> "Advanced Search") or whichever template you're constructing a search form in. For a checkbox search for a multiple checkbox (or multiple selector) field, place this in the search form HTML:
Replace 'multicheck' with the name of your field and the numbers one through three with the possible values of your field. You can extend this to any number of options.
For a checkbox search for a single checkbox field (just on or off), use this HTML:
Replace 'singlecheck' with the name of your field.
