Hello There,

How about something that searches for the closest match using all the information given? Something like...

PHP Code:

$result=MYSQL_QUERY("SELECT * FROM hardware WHERE symptom LIKE '%$symptom%' AND manufacturer LIKE '%$manufacturer%'AND 

component LIKE '%$component%' ORDER BY referance") 

or die (mysql_error()); 

The % character says that the word can appear after/before words and it looks for the closest match, so if the person enters 3 fields and leaves one black it is still searching for three items? Just an idea. Hope it helps
