You could make a drop down box with some vales in it, and then pass those values to Lucene. You would have to make some changes to the lucene user controls to do it, but that's no too difficult.
OK, got this to work. Wha I need now is the ability to search specified fields with a range. Like search Price with the range 100000-200000. Any ideas?
Search with dropdown menu
Has anyone implimented a search page with dropdowm selectors, if so how?!
What do you mean by "dropdown selectors" ?
Instead of a search box, have predifined search text in a drop down menu with a search button
You need to give us some more details. Where are values from dropdownlist going to come from?
If you are using XSLTSearch you can post the selected value in the drop down to a page like search.aspx?search=selectedvalue

See http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/7321-Umbraco-Search for a new thread asking specifically about searching for ranges in XSLTsearch.
