Have you looked at the "barry" catalog? I think there is a complex search
on the page subcat.html which does this.

<a href="[area href=scan
			arg=|
				co=yes
				sf=category
				se=[data session arg]
				sg=0
				os=0
				op=rm

				sf=subcategory
				se=[item-code]
				sg=1
				os=1
				op=em

				sf=addl_category
				se=[item-code]
				sg=1
				os=1
			|
		]">

Someday, I will make the SQL search parser translate to this from:

	SELECT sku FROM products
	WHERE category = 'arg'
	AND ( subcategory = 'foo' OR addl_category = 'bar')

Though that is a thought -- if you are using SQL you can use [query type=list ...]
to do just that.
