mrtopher: You're right, it's true that depending on how your database is structured, the search will be different. But as megabyte's post shows, there is still plenty of customization that can be done for a search- and it's that type of stuff that I'm trying to find a library for! It's been written a million times, and finding a library would be a good way to just get things done.

sleeper service: Yeah, I read through that link. I was hoping to find a plugin that has already implemented those searches with some level of abstraction.

In the same way that CI takes the drudgery out of coding repetitive parts of sites, I was hoping to find a plugin that could help take the drudgery out of putting together a nice search function.
