I need the user to be able to search against two category groups: one for states, and the other for job type, i.e., accounting, HR, etc.
Two problems:
First, I try to use a placeholder value for my fields:
<select name="category[]">
<option val="">Select Category</option>
{exp:channel:categories channel="jobs"
category_group="5" disable="category_fields"
style="linear"}
{exp:super_search:variables}
<option val="{category_url_title}">{category_name}</option>
{/exp:super_search:variables}
{/exp:channel:categories}
(This is one of them.) The blank value ends up passing 'Select+Category' in to the URL.
Secondly, I need to ignore the keywords field altogether. I tried adding a hidden field:
<input type="hidden" name="keywords" value="">
But that doesn't matter.
My search results page is yielding incorrect results because it thinks the keywords value is "", which is like "any".
