## Description

THIS PLUGIN IS IN HEAVY DEVELOPMENT!

Extend your site’s querying and sorting functionality using custom field values.

The following function registers queryable fields.
 register_custom_queryable_field(
$fieldName, $options);

Simple Example:
 register_custom_queryable_field(‘city’); (The above registers the
custom field ‘city’ to be searchable using query variables) http://www.yoursite.
com/?city=Anahiem (displays posts which have a meta key ‘city’ and a value of ‘Anahiem’)

Advanced Example:
 register_custom_queryable_field(“price”, array(“dataType”=>”numeric”));(
The above registers the custom field “price” to be searchable as a number using 
query variables) http://www.yoursite.com/?price=500 (displays posts which have a
meta key ‘price’ and a exact value of ‘500’) http://www.yoursite.com/?price_min=
200&price_max=800&order_by=price (displays posts, sorted by ‘price’, which have 
a meta key ‘price’ and a value between ‘200’ and ‘800’)

Available Options:

 * dataType
    - text (default)
    - numeric (receive min/max query variables, see above example)
 * order
    - If the user uses the “order_by” query variable then this option determines
      the order. Available options are “ASC” and “DESC”(default)
 * compare
    - Compare method for text types. Defaults to ‘=’. Recommend ‘LIKE’

There is a “order_by” query var made available. This is used by adding `&order_by
=price` to the URL. In this instance, the query would sort based on the “price” 
field only.

Note: This plugin does not alter any queries when in the backend.
