**I have built an online catalog in PHP/MySQL that I need to be able to search from the front end of my site.**

**First, here is the breakdown of the catalog:**

There are many products (`product` table).

Each product has a description and title.

Each product belongs to a merchant (`merchant` table)

Each merchant has a ZIP code and a LOCATION_ID (based on the metro area they're located in)

Each product is associated with either 1, 2 or 3 categories.

the product-category association is made in the table `product_category`

There are about 800 categories in my tree with a maximum depth of 7. (`category` table)

**How I need to be able to query data from this catalog:

**1. I want to be able to keyword search product titles and descriptions

2. I want to be able to browse the catalog by category_id

3. I want to be able to keyword search within a category (and its sub categories)

4. Whether I am searching or browsing, I need to be able to filter the results based on the merchant's ZIP code or LOCATION_ID at all times.

*This needs to be done efficiently so queries do not take too long to return results.

The system should be dyamic, so it reflects changes I make to the catalog.

I am open to using 3rd party GPL software.*

***In your bid to me, outline how you plan on solving this problem for me. IE: with 3rd party software or with regular PHP/MySQL. If you ignore this part your bid will not be considered. Thank you.***
