<?php
$search_cat="";

// find any matching keyword
if($input->get->job_keyword) {

Have a look at how this is done in the Skyscraper's profile. Download the profile and look at the code, especially the search.php file.

You also need to sanitize (and maybe whitelist) all inputs (even if they are coming from HTML select options).

Hello kongondo,

thanks for your reply and i have download the profile but its different than i am looking for.

i have job pages with template name job. i want to search from these pages.

can you give me example of combining two select box in 

$jobs=$pages->find("template=job,$search_cat");

for example i have one select box name "select A" and other is "select B", how can i combine these two in above search if value is selected.

Thanks
