Include drop-down lists in front-end search

Hi
I see in the Events List view that search can be done on Name, Description, Location, Category, Tag.
Because clients do not know the Tag names in advance (or any of the other 'names' for that matter), I'd like to be able to have a dropdown list of the current Tags (or locations/categories etc) appear depending on what is selected in the first field.
For example, if the user selects "Tag" "is" then I'd like the third field to be a dropdown list of the current available Tags. Presumably, this is held in a DB table somewhere.
I am certain that this feature would be of great use to many of your clients and is worthy of consideration.
One of the biggest problems with search engines is knowing what to search on and since the RSEventsPro search is not designed to make the nearest match or guess like Google, users need to see a list what they can choose from.
Can you seriously consider adding this important feature?
Many thanks for a great component and hope this feedback will help make it greater still.
Best wishes, David
