Yes, very possible to code up. Here’s one example of a custom search extension I was commisiond to develop. The top three drop downs are of three different parent categories, the list shows their children. The zip code leverages the internal radius search support in Connections. The last is just the simple keyword search field that comes with most templates, just restyled.
There’s nothing point and click available but all the underlying code support is in place and robust. If you know PHP, putting something like this together is not all that difficult. The example I linked to, I spent far, far, more time doing the javascript for the geo-autocomplete and styling that I did with the base PHP code.
That said… this is not something that I can just give you a few little code snippets either. I can not recall what template you’re using, but if you open the code, you’ll see the function that creates a category drop down. My code in Connections is heavily documented, that documentation gives all you need to know how to create category drop downs displaying different category choices.
Hope that helps!
