Advanced search help...consultancy help?

Hi,
I recently completed a site using Article Manager. I had upgraded the site from Job Manager. Unfortunately, one of the key features of job manager was the search facility allowed us to choose 'job title' and 'area' and the results would bring up articles that matched both selected results. After several hours of priority consulting i got this site up and running, however the search element will not only show results for those selected. Rather than showing the results for 'area' AND 'category' it shows results for 'area' OR 'category'. It can be seen here:
http://www.fusionsearch.co.uk/cgi-bin/artman/search.cgi
Has anyone any idea how i can get this to work?
I am willing to pay for consultancy if someone can fix this?
Many thanks,
Nikki.

Hi Nikki,
I tested out the searching on that page, and it seemed to find listings with the keyword I used, only in the selected category. Am I overlooking something? If this isn't resolved, let us know some example search terms and we can duplicate the problem on our end.

Hi Jake,
Thanks for looking into it for me. Example, if you select: LONDON and Actuarial, you get results for jobs that are in London that haven't been posted in Actuarial. And jobs that have been posted in Actuarial that aren't in London. Do you see what i mean, it needs to retrieve results that match both the criteria. I had this set up easily using your old search engine product with job manager, yet it doesn't want to work with artman and its crucial to the whole site!
Can you let me know how you get on please?
Cheers Jake,
Nikki.

Hi Nikki,
It looks like the main problem here is that the <select> tag for your area list isn't set up quite right. This is how it looks now:
<select name="categoryNum">
I'm not sure if you have categories set up for the areas or not, but either way this is conflicting with the category selections for the Category search options below. What I'd suggest is that you change the select tag to this, and also modify the values of the corresponding <option> tags:
I noticed that when I typed in "London" to your keyword box and then searched in the Actuaries category, everything seemed to work correctly. This same search behavior should be replicated for the drop-down area menu if you follow the changes I mentioned above. Does this all make sense?
Let us know if you have any other questions about this.

Hi there,
I tried making these changes that Jake suggested. However now (even after i've removed any changes i made - i only changed the word categoryNum to keyword!) i am getting this error message every time i try and select an area from the drop down list:
Error: createWhereTestFunction error: Unmatched [ in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/^.*[ <-- HERE unknown.*$/ at (eval 59) line 2.
Any ideas? I've gone back to me previous saved version before this error, uploaded and published all and still its there - this site is live so its pretty embarassing. I'm just about losing the will to live - if i never see it again it will be too soon! 
nikki.

Hi Nikki,
It looks like you tried to use a bad placeholder for the "value" attributes for the area drop-down menu, which could be causing this error. Try removing the value="$keyword$" text from those option tags, and then re-publish the page. The search should still work without these values being explicitly set, since your browser will use the option text instead (ie. EAST ANGLIA, Cambridgeshire).
Let me know how that works out.
