I'm looking for ideas on how to best handle a a resource download that is a collection. 
By collection I mean the download might be a zip file that has multiple ebooks and each ebook can be for a different author, category, and short description.
As part of having the collection as a download in RM my ideal scenario would be being able to search on a value like the author name and returning a list of all RM items that have the author has one of items in its collection or being able to show all collections for a specific category.
I was originally thinking of a dedicated add-on before realizing RM, with some custom fields, has just about everything I was looking at doing with the exception (that I know of) of being able to capture multiple groupings of custom field values (in this case, author/category/desc) so hence the question mentioning arrays. I know if I enter the author/category/desc as a table in the RM description it'd come back in the XF search results but being to search for values specifically (eg: all authors that have "doe" in their name) or being able to do something like showing all collections (RM items) for a specific category would make for a really nice user experience.
Thoughts? Anybody using RM in a similar manner?
