Advanced Searching

I have done some digging but I can't find a solution.

I have 2 Dropdowns which I need to search by to get a subset of data for the users.

Can I :
1. Create these on a standard Browse form and have them use the inbuild behaviour?
2. Create these on an Edit Form and pass the two selections through to a subform Browse Window

Thanks

Manage to get this to work by using a ListBox to hold the data, using an AJAX post and grab from secondary php file, and using .replaceWith on the Listbox control to overwrite the Options List.

Created an Extra Action Button and can pull the listbox items out from there to feed back into the database.

I used this to get a start on it (for future searchers).
