- Search for blow jobs AND anal under Jane Doe, it only shows me content of Jane Doe where she does both.
- Search for blow jobs OR anal under Jane Doe, it shows me everything with blow jobs and everything with anal.
Etc, etc.
Your current Demo doesn't seem to have that capability. Did I miss it? Or is it available, but not in the Demo?
Additional concerns are the cost involved. I am a business man and I understand being profitable, but it seems like you charge a premium for features that should just be a default option. Hell, I can even understand a one time fee to add an option to a program that already has a monthly fee, but adding an additional monthly fee really puts your software out of reach for the vast majority of webmasters.
Also, your hosting option is quite limited. Perhaps this is simply an issue with the host you are using, but the bandwidth allotment is abysmal. I pay less to my current host and get ten times the bandwidth. The cost of overages with your host would kill my bottom line. Any plans to choose a host with a higher allotment?

Search:
If you click advanced search next to the search field in the pro cms demo you?ll see the form. The only thing lacking function-wise is the ability to search based on your AND criteria. It currently returns results matching both. I?ll see about extending this to let someone apply more granular filters.
If you enter a name it will filter by name as well as keyword but there?s no specific menu for selecting a model from a list. I?ll look into adding a list of models now or in the next software update to make that feature obvious.
We seldom get requests for search related features since unless a site has a massive amount of content, most of the time someone doing a granular search like you described will return few if any results. Almost everything we do/fix/add to the CMS is based on customer request but even though we don?t get many requests for additional search options, it wouldn?t hurt to have them so I'll add it to the to-do list here based on your feedback here and seeing that as a lacking feature.
Hosting:
The hosted option is something we offer as a convenient starting point that works well for a lot of sites. Since you?re describing it as ?abysmal?, suffice to say it?s not going to meet your needs. We work exclusively with MojoHost on those plans. They?re one of the best in the business so the plan can be tailored for you as needed. Or, if you prefer, you can choose to use any hosting company you like. We don?t force you to buy the CMS with hosting, you?re welcome to host anywhere.
I realize there are various factors every site owner needs to consider, including costs and that Elevated X is not an option for everyone.
Soon we'll be moving toward a more all inclusive add-on package that will encompass many additional features we have in the works rather than have people continue to pay a la carte for new things.
Feel free to hit me up directly via email or Skype if you have questions about anything.
