How can I setup a query to search multiple feilds in a table?

I have it working with only feild, but I would like it more refined.

Since it's for a real estate site, I'd like the search perameters to berefined down to the city, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms and so on...

depending on the DBMS and interpreter, you may need to use quotes in the query.

SELECT * FROM tablename
WHERE field1 = x AND field2 = y AND field3 = z

Above assumes all data is in one table. You can do the same across multiple tables using a JOIN statement.

BTW - you get the best performance by using the most discrete field first - the one most likely to be unique.
