Hi,
Any help here is much appreciated, this won't be very straight-forward
I'm about to get started on my WP site but before I can do this I need to ensure a crucial function that will practically be the foundation of the website, is possible to build in wordpress.
Essentially I am going to have a blog that includes information of a specific type (manually entered) that is shown on my website in the form of blog type-updates (an example that I'm not doing in the website, but we will use for discussion purposes is windows updates).
I want to build an advanced search feature where when the user clicks on a category button or types in a category (eg. security, or "windows media player" or something similar) and when doing so, the page that appears will have queried all previously entered data on the website and will have sorted all of the security updates or windows media player updates (from the beginning of time) in Date order, with the release date hanging off the side of each update.
So instead of just displaying all previous posts that "contained" information that I'm searching for and you have to click and search through, have it actually display all of the individual strings all on the same page.
(eg. Windowsupdate#1 1/1/2010
Windowsupdate#2 2/2/2020
Windowsupdate#3 3/3/2030
)
This means I may have to create some form of code that I can place next to each line of text in my manual updates that adds them to these "categories" also.
Basically I just need to know if this is even possible, complicated or not. Before I go spending any money on resources for getting the website up and going via wordpress :)
Thanks so much, apologies if this doesn't make sense
