Simple Search provide Status Dynamically

Question

I have a simple search form that I would like to submit a status dynamically, is there any way to do this, right now I am using javascript to submit the form and depending on what status options are toggled i would like to limit the status fields it searches.

If I cannot change the available status's on submission, can I restrict the status on the results page something like this?

{exp:search:search_results status="closed|draft"} 

I can always use the template to not display status's on the results page, but I would prefer not to loop over 10 status's for every result.

Answer 1

The docs don't indicate you can set status from the search form but you can set status on the search results page with the status="draft|reviewed|published" parameter .
