Class: better_field_search

Adapted from Sujith's search_fields class. A generalized, flexible class to search a MySQL DB. You can specify fields to search or display in results. Allows multiple search terms. Has a sample form to implement the class. Easy to implement. Recently added ability to format results independant of class, modify and/or or search, and search multiple tables (via joins).
