extrafields search form

[seymourjames +]

Is possible to force that the extrafields in the searchform are always displayed before a category is selected. For aesthetic reasons, the form box increases in size and I would prefer it to remain constant size. In other words if an extrafield is tied to all categories is it possible to do this.

Probably the easiest method would be to use this modification:

Then with the category pre-selected any associated extra fields with it will also.
