I am looking for a way to utilize an exposed views filter for a cck node reference field. I have tried a couple of items that just don't seem to cut or I have not been able to configure them.
The goal would be when creating a page the nodereference field would not be a select field with hundreds of options, but would be an exposed filter view for a particular content type. The exposed filter would allow you to filter by title or by a content taxonomy field.
I have tried nodereference explorer which could work but I have found it to be pretty buggy for a production site.
I have also tried nodereference view select, which appears to work differently for D6 than in D5.
It could be that I have the right elements but have yet to get them integrated successfully.
