Does anyone know if this can be done in CCS. I would like to tie a radio button to a search field so that a person would select the item they want to search and then enter a partial string in the search field. I know I this can be done just using the search fields but I was trying this method due to space limitations.

It could be done with out too much difficulty. The search mechanism is
nothing more that attaching query parameters to the submit. The receiving
page (probably the same one doing the submit) can check these in the
BeforeBuildSelect and alter the query that the results-query uses. You
would get an additional parameter from the radio buttons with a value
indicating which was selected. This can be as simple as numbering their
"value" properties as 1, 2, 3, ... - for however many radio buttons you
have. In the BeforeBuildSelect add a Select-Case statement for cases 1
through 'n' and change the .Where property of your datasource accordingly.

Also, many of our examples show how to use the ListBox in the search form, while RadioList should not be much different. You may even setup a ListBox in the search form and then right-click and select Change To -> Radio Button.
