A rather unusual search
Hello Low
i have a rather unusual question and i don't know if Low Search can help me .. well i need to make a search form (only that, not results page) that has 3 things ..
1. a category from a dropdown menu (theatre, cinema, other activities etc)
2. a dropdown menu populated from custom text fields for cities (distinct values)
3. a datepicker where the user selects a daterange
what i need is to point to a results page in the form domain.com/index.php/city/category(number)/start_range/end_range
so i want to associate the search form fields with url segments in the results page ...
also... if that can be done with ajax ... e.g. the user selects date range, then the categories are filtered down to the ones that have entries inside these daterange and finally the dropdown with cities is filtered down to cities that correspond to entries that have entries inside the daterange and correspond the category the user selected just above...
then the user clicks submit and is going to the results page which is already made
will that be possible with Low Search?

This is beyond the scope of Low Search.
LS's form will always submit to either search results using the encoded string, or using GET vars. Custom URLs based on the form aren't supported. Even if it was, how you build the form is up to you.
That said, it looks like you need something custom to create the form and make it behave like you want.
