Help with plugin selection
-
Hi
I am looking for widget/plugin that gives a user the ability to add data to my database, the data must then be searchable…
The specific scenario is that I want registered users on my site to be able to add a vehicle license plate number with a description of the car (color, make, model etc) and well as location the vehicle was spotted, then also be able to search the DB for any given license plate number and return the results to them
Anybody know of something like this?

Blogger access to the database is not possible here at WordPress.com. What you describe is best done by hiring a web host and setting up a WordPress.ORG install. Please read this comparison carefully for clarity http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

Specifically you cannot set up a searchable database on a free hosted WordPress.com blog nor can your set up member registration. WordPress.com is a multiuser blogging platform. Our blogs are not free standing. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs and we bloggers cannot install any plugins. There is no upgrade you can purchase that will provide FTP access and the ability to install plugins, upload themes, and/or edit templates and themes in a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

To use plugins you must hire a web host and then set up your own WordPress.org install. We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software installs. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers. -
