Using checkboxes instead of text fields in for keywords

[ParadiseRooms]

Is it possible to use checkboxes to enter keywords instead of the default text field? My search requires only about 30-40 keywords and I would like to set it up a little more simply for the people using it.

this is a good example of what I'm looking for: http://www.adin.com.au/content.asp?Document_ID=43
(starting after the "and/or Search by Term(s)")

You would need to write some extra scripting to do this.

But there is a solution that doesn't require any additional coding. You place seach links on the words themselves and don't use check boxes.

This is kind of hard to exaplain. There is an example here,
http://www.lobster-magazine.co.uk/ (The journal of parapolitics).
But they also combine this with URL re-writing to use as search engine bait. So it is hard to see exactly what is happening.

But here is another example. Click on the links below.
ASP, PHP, CGI

First, Thank You for the fast reply!

I would prefer the checkbox method because the manner in which we use the search requires multiple keywords in a variety of combinations.

for example:

our keywords are: A B C D E F G

we need to be able to select any combination

A C E
B F G
C A F D
A F
and so on.

Also, we use zoom on a local site, so I need it to work in JavaScript.

You'll need to write some Javascript to build up a URL for you on the fly then. Probably not too hard, but still a few hours to develop and test.

Here's another example which does something similar to what you describe:
http://www.psychotherapy-network.com/

They have created a bit of Javascript which populates the search box based on options selected from a list. It then just sends the search query to Zoom as per normal when you hit the "Begin Site Search" button.
