Turn your Wordpress custom-post taxonomies into a search powerhouse! This plugin gives you the ability to provide your users with a widget full of dropdowns based upon parent terms (criterias) and their sub-terms (options).
For example, if you have multiple countrie terms in a country parent term, you can search throw custom-post by selecting one of the countries.
You can use this plugin as a widget or in a content with a shortcode.
