#1143 Create Advanced Search options for all ISFDB record types

[Ahasuerus]

Create Advanced Search options for all ISFDB record types, i.e.:
Advanced Series Search
Advanced Publisher Search
Advanced Publication Series Search
Advanced Award Type Search
Advanced Award Category Search
Advanced Award Search
Some of these search types would be more useful than others, but it would be nice to add all of them simply to make things consistent across the board. They are not hard to implement, so the added effort wouldn't be significant. The only concern that I can think of at the moment is that it would make the Advanced Search page too busy. We could address this issue in a couple of different ways. The easiest one would be to turn the Advanced Search page into a menu which would list all of the available search types. The user would then click the search type she is interested in and be taken to the Web page for that search type. Another way to handle the issue would be to display a single drop-down list with all of the search types. Once the user chooses the search type, the software would display the appropriate input fields and drop-down values. It would be similar to how the software dynamically changes the drop-down values for different advanced search criteria. The second way would require a bit more work than the "menu" approach, but it should be doable.
