Alternative behavior of filter module

[raeen]

Hellow!
I need to have filter working like this:
first user selects values for several fields, then pushes ONE button "SEARCH", and gets his result.
Here i found the example: http://www.realtyusa.com/
In the upper right corner there is "quick search" area just like i need
Is there any way to make something similar by standart functionality or extentions?

Nope, because this is very difficult to implement, and doesn't make sense to me, since it takes so quick to reload the page anyway. Also, you're free to make your own filter template with all the options and in the new version, all POSTed variables are automatically translated into GET variables, so technically, you can make a Form Generator and have that filter your results (from your home page, let's say). Alpha 2.0 is pretty stable for use.
