[request] Search with constraints (custom field is, is not, is in between…)
Textpattern search allows you to search for anything in the title or body. Wet_haystack expands that to whatever you want. However, is it possible to say “show all articles that have a custom field with content that is between 300 and 599”.
I am pretty sure there is something out there (but can’t remember the name) that allows you to limit searches by custom field (if it equals bla), but nothing that allows you say “if the value is between a and b”.
Thought of scripting it with php and smd_query, but maybe there is a better way to do it… (read:easier)

Does this smd_if technique help?

smd_if does help, however I am afraid that it might be a little inefficient as there will be quite a few entries in that particular section. (Bytheway, this is also a real-estate site.;-)
Pretty sure that smd_query can do the job, just thought it is worth asking whether there is anything else…
