OK, then in that case you can use this code as the drop-down's custom validation script (just make sure to tick the option to commit the selected value immediately, under the field's Properties - Options tab):

search.query(event.value, "ActiveDoc");

That's a ridiculous set up, but OK...

So how do you want it to work, exactly? Do you want the Advanced Search window to open and search the current file with the selected value in the drop-down the moment it's selected?
