So what I'm setting up is a restaurant directory of the city I live in. I have created a content type called "restaurant", and several taxonomies (cuisine, price, geographic zone) to attach to the content type.
I have set up a View, that with exposed filters using taxonomy terms, users can select by drop-downs the type of restaurant they want to go to (again... cuisine, price, geographic zone). Once the selection is made, it shows the restaurants tagged with those terms. So far, that was fairly simple to set up.
However, our site requires ads, and we want relevant ads to appear from the user's selection. So if somebody selects "eclectic" an eclectic ad would appear above the search results. So, using the Ad module, I have a content type called Advertisement, and I have enabled the very same taxonomies that I have used on the Restaurant content type (cuisine, price, geographic zone).
So in the View I was using before, I made an Attachment that will go above the Page that contains the search options and results. What I'm trying to figure out is how do I make it so that when somebody does select "eclectic" and the search results are shown, to pass that taxonomy term to the Attachment so that it shows the Advertisement that is also tagged under "eclectic"?
Here are some mockups to paint a clearer picture (note that the "ads" above the search results are not made in Drupal... I just edited them in to how I want it to look like):

I believe they're accomplishing what you're attempting to do.

I'm getting close, I can feel it...
Thanks for those links. The second link was really clear to follow, and I made a test block as they do in the tutorial and it showed the related articles.
However, this only works if I'm on the node (as in, a selected restaurant). It doesn't work if I'm still in the "search" section. For some reason, it's not passing the term[s] selected in the drop-downs and showing the ad (excuse me if I'm not using the right terminology).
