Wow isn't it amazing how RTDM works if you do it, well actually I read the manual I just didn't get it right away. So here is my solution
the normal search token is
#{*H_Search|BUILDING,=,OR,STR,textbox,15,5,,|}
to use a select drop down box edit the token as follows
#{*H_Search|BUILDING,=,OR,STR,select,15,5,,$get_buildingList|}
Then add a query object that will pull the list information you want from the database like SELECT building FROM buildings then change the query result var to something that makes sense or replace $get_buildingList with the fb default of $fb_query.
RTDM works every time, but not until you have first asked the question of a small audience like the internet.
