That was my response, too - though it's non-trivial to implement
cleanly. To flesh it out a bit:
1) Each page should contain a unique state identifier - not just
the TLA because (a) that may occur in text and (b) you don't want
to be indexing two-letter entities. For the sake of example:
<TITLE>The Flat Bits</TITLE>
<META name="keywords" content="stateNE, stateKS, state{etc}"
2) Be sure to look up in Attrs.htm and to set:
keywords_meta_tag_names
keywords_factor
3) Drop-down list as noted. For the sake of generality try it as
a SELECT MULTIPLE
4) onSubmit your JavaScript checks whether any are selected, and
if so sets method=boolean and rewrites the words= term in the
queryString() to (for example):
words=((stateNE AND stateKS) AND ({what_the_user_entered}));

Me either.
