search filter options - Toolset.png

Hi, I am developing a Business (Dropship) Directory Website and I am looking to have a sidebar that has search and filter features similar to the one I attached in this message. I have been trying to figure this out for over a year so I thought I probably should have messaged you about it first. You will notice the left sidebar has some filter options and I would like to do something similar on my website. I am basically looking to have a list of PRODUCT CATEGORIES (ie: electronics, baby & kids, home & garden, health & beauty, etc...) that clients can search from but I would also like to have a search bar on the top where clients can type in a specific product or brand and a list of the suppliers would appear as they are typing. I would also like to allow clients the ability to filter the results by suppliers that ALLOW SALES on Ebay, Amazon and/or an Online Store and another filter that allows clients to filter by SUPPLIER LOCATION (like the one in the attachment) if that makes sense.
