Why my search engine function are limited

[Sheau Wei]

Below is my search engine code.
I realize that the function was very limitied because i cannot searching the "NamaPealatan"( name of tools) compatible to the either categories Operasi or Balai or Komunikasi .

If i want to add radio option in this code to minimize the area of searching, leet say at column Motor,(the option will be bermotor or Notmotor) how do i do?

Below is my database

CREATE TABLE `listofitem` `ID` INT( 10 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`NamaPeralatan` VARCHAR( 30 ) NOT NULL ,
`Motor` VARCHAR( 10 ) NULL DEFAULT NULL ,
`Operasi` VARCHAR( 30 ) NULL DEFAULT NULL ,
`Balai` VARCHAR( 30 ) NULL DEFAULT NULL ,
`Komunikasi` VARCHAR( 30 ) NULL DEFAULT NULL

<?php session_start() ;?>
<h2>Search</h2>
<form name="search" method="post" action="<?=$PHP _SELF?>">
Search for:
<input type="text" name="find" /> in
<Select NAME="field">
<Option VALUE="Operasi" >Alat Operasi</option>
<Option VALUE="Balai">A lat Balai</option>
<Option VALUE="Komunika si">Alat Komunikasi</option>
<Option VALUE="NamaPera latan">Inventor y</option>

</Select>

<input type="hidden" name="searching " value="yes" />
<input type="submit" name="search" value="Search" />
</form>

<?
//This is only displayed if they have submitted the form

if ($searching =="yes")
{
echo "<h2>Result s</h2><p>";

//If they did not enter a search term we give them an error
if ($find == "")
{
echo "<p>You forgot to enter a search term";
exit;
}

// Otherwise we connect to our Database
mysql_select_db ("inventory" ) or die(mysql_error ());

// We preform a bit of filtering
$find = strtoupper($fin d);
$find = strip_tags($fin d);
$find = trim ($find);

//Now we search for our search term, in the field the user specified
$data = mysql_query("SE LECT * FROM listofitem WHERE upper($field) LIKE'%$find%'") ;


echo "<table border='1'>";
echo "<tr> <th>ID</th> <th>NamaPeralat an</th><th>Motor</th><th>Alat Operasi</th><th>Alat Balai</th><th>Alat Komunikasi</th> </tr>";

//And we display the results
while($result = mysql_fetch_arr ay( $data ))
{


echo "<tr><td>";
echo $result['ID'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $result['NamaPeralatan'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $result['Motor'];
echo "</td><td>";
echo $result['Operasi'];
echo "</td><td>";
}
echo "</table>";



//This counts the number or results - and if there wasn't any it gives them a little message explaining that
$anymatches=mys ql_num_rows($da ta);
if ($anymatches == 0)
{
echo "Sorry, but we can not find an entry to match your query<br><br>";
}

//And we remind them what they searched for
echo "<b>Searche d For:</b> " .$find;
}
?>
