Hello IT,
Are searches on multi-value list fields still not available with CMSB? I have a client with a field entitled "type" and a multi-value dropdown with choices like "interior, exterior, service, product, etc.". If the list page is inventoryList.php, the browser url of
http://www.sitename.com/inventoryList.php?type=interior does not produce any filtered results.

Hi,
Searches on multi-value list fields should work in CMS Builder. I tested locally and it works for me.
Is the multi-value dropdown with choices "interior, exterior, service, product, etc." just the labels or the actual values stored in the database?
Also, what version of CMS Builder are you using?

It's CMSB ver 2.53, build 1040.
The field is called "type" and it's a multi-pulldown list field with:
Countertops
Flooring
Interior
Exterior
Design Planning
Finish and Material Selection
Tools
Accessories
Construction Documentation
End-to-End Project Management
Other
As the current choices.

Hi Terry,
You can search for single values with the current version, just make sure inventoryList.php has 'allowSearch' => true,
And the latest beta (and upcoming release) supports OR searches for multiple values (as you'd have if you selected multiple values from an <select name="type" multiple="multiple" size="3"> type of multiple value list) if you add square brackets before the = eg: inventoryList.php?type[]=interior&type[]=exterior OR if you add them in the name of the select as name="type[]".
Hope that helps!
