All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part X

...
Now for a tricky question: Is there any way to pass the contents of an InputBox (or some other text-entry method) to a DPL list?

We already have DynamicPageList3 installed. If we can use it to let people search for pages with more than one category, we could open up the range of services we offer. ("Want a list of horror anime made in the 1990s? Want a list of rom-coms that aired on Fox? Want to know which books are banned on TV Tropes? We can make those lists for you!")

First Rob, thanks, that's a good idea you had.

I've had a request to implement this on the freebie wiki: "I need to do some research on how to pass variables into a line of code to make a page of the resulting list. Like what we have when we go to the search button up at the top of the page. With this type of feature the website will become a very powerful tool in finding that perfect freebie."

Does anyone have any ideas on how to actually make it happen?
