What I had in mind was a series of dropdowns followed by a search button.

In my case, its about 10 different kinds of people in 50 cities. So, one dropdown would contain the type of person, and the other drop down would contain the cities.

Clicking on the search button runs some javascript that fetches the setting from the dropdowns and constructs the SQL query.

Just need a method of feeding the query to CB...a plug in should be able to do it.

The pre-defined lists that we create in the admin panel are just SQL queries stored in the database. Somehow, that query is extracted and feed to CB. So...a way of feeding queries to CB already exists.

I bet this is less than an hour's work for one of the gurus here.

This component could be the answer:

extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,326/Itemid,35/

I am still learning how to use it but I am impressed so far.
