Great! Thank you.  Okay next step... I figured out how to use the filters 
in the advance search ( I know, no big feat)  But they worked the way I 
wanted!  So now I just have to figure out how to put a search function in 
that doesn't require me to type [field:intelligence[average]]  into the 
advanced search every time I want to search something.  I was thinking a 
search button at the top of the index page I have or another tab on the 
side bar that has search options, something simple.  I haven't been able to 
find anything like that.  I even tried copying the code from the site and 
tweaking it.  No luck.
