Searching my website

I know this does not belong in the pre-sales forum but i cant activate my acoount fot the support forum.

I have downloaded the developer script and installed everything. Now when i want to search de site i can only search in 1 or 2 state's. Is it possible to ad state's and city's to the search field.

Now it only ads state's and city's when a user ads an add with a specific state or city.

By default the site only populates those drop downs with data from existing ads. Why would you want to search for ads in a state when there are none?

i would want this because most of my users think its a error in the script and ask alot of questions. Another reason is that most dutch classified add site the search pages contains the fixed state's and city's.

But is it possible to make this change?

Angelus-

This would be a modification and isn't officially support but...

The easiest way to do this is:
- Begin the registration process.
- when you get to the page that has the cities and states select menus, view the page's source and copy the html for the city and states select field.
- open your search.tpl.php file and make a note of the name of the select fields.
- paste the html in the template file and change the select fields name so that it's the same as the original.
- save and upload the file.

Hope this works/helps
