[wp-hackers] Search / Filter custom meta values from frontend

[Joaquin Rodriguez Montero]

Thanks for the tip Mike! Unfortunately the page isn't as deep on the subject
as I could have expected. I just posted my challenge on the forum to see if
I can get any other piece of information.. I'm thinking a form tied up to a
query which will be enabled upong hitting "search" but it's quite too
technical for me at this stage..
