BANS v3.0 Advanced Search Mod

Build a Niche Store v3.0 comes packed with a new search feature that allows advanced searches. You now have the option to search by min/max price, min/max bid and search within x amount of miles from a zip code. In my opinion the best part of this is the ability to add a local search. What I do not like is that the user must hit “advanced” to bring up the options. Once they do they are confronted with all the advanced options and it looks a little confusing. I ~~messed with~~ hacked up the code and came up with a quick, but messy fix. Have a look here. As you can see I stripped everything out except for the local search.

This involved modifying the frontcontrol.php and adding a snip of code in the header template.

You can check out the code here searchlocal.zip
