This would be very easy to do in Examine, and if there are going to be a lot od adverts, then examine is probably the best thing to use. If there aren't going to be a huge amount of adverts, you could also look at the XSLT Search package which is slightly easier to use and set up if you aren't comfortable writing .Net code.
For the Examine search, you'd need to set up the indexer and searcher, and tell it to only index the adverts document types, and then write some searh code, either as a .Net user control, or a Razor macro.
using examine to search on specific fields
Hi
I have a site where users can upload adverts and each advert has a "title" and "category" field.
the adverts are created as a specific document type under a node/folder called "users adverts".
I want the users to be able to search adverts.
When a user searches, the search should look at the "title" and "category" field of each "advert" and return it if it matches the search criteria.
any ideas on how best to do this with "examine" and is examine the best thing to use?
thanks

For some example code on how to use Examine, check out this blog post: http://umbraco.com/follow-us/blog-archive/2011/9/16/examining-examine.aspx
Hope that helps!
