Search Multiple Categories

I have a rails app that lists different law firms. These law firms can
be
categorized by Practice Area and Location. Now i need to implement a
search, where people can select from a select option a Location AND a
Practice Area and find all Law Firms that are in that selected Location
which also Practice in the selected Area, any idea?
Thanks

Are you looking for the UI where you choose from one picker and the next
picker is updated with relevant sub-options from that first choice? Have
a search on Railscasts for a nice breakdown of how to do that.

Just use the boolean operator “AND” in your search query. This should
work
both for simple SQL queries on your database and for queries on hosted
search servers which ( thinking sphix , cloudsearch , etc ) . What have
you
tried so far ?
