in your code, you can define ranges of say if the model year being
looked for is 2002, then present model years 2000 thru 2004.

Thanks but doing it in code would require me to pull in the entire car table
and process it. With potentially tons of rows, seems like I should be able
to use the db to get those.

you *could* go with if-statements, returning a numerical weight for each
criterion if match and 0 if not; summing those and sorting by the sum
column.
I would do it in code, though - it may or may not be less efficient, but
it'll be easier to maintain and read.

I have a hold car data such as color, model, make, year, etc. I want to
allow the user to answer some questions and I'll present them with the car
that 'best' matches their criteria. How do I do this? I still want to
return ones that don't match exactly but want the closer matches ordered
at
the top:
Table:cars
columns: car_id, make, model, year, color, condition
So if the user enterrs:
model: Toyota
year: 1998
condition:great
color: blue
I would show them a blue 1998 good conditioned camry first but farther
down
in the list might still have a blue good condition 98 Honda.
Thanks!

Celsius is based on water temperature.
Fahrenheit is based on alcohol temperature.
Ergo, Fahrenheit is better than Celsius. QED.
