Improve The Current Implementation Of A Simple JQuery Filtering Engine

Question

The filtering option on my site appears to be behaving erratically, and not returning the closest result (i.e. items that best match the set filters), but rather "generalising" across the board. I think that this is down to the manner in which
I have implemented the if-else statement that handles the filtering. I think that it would work well if there was just one option, but now that there are multiple, any options selected later would simply be overridden by earlier ones.
What would be the best way to improve the current implementation of my filtering engine, so that it would make matches more effectively?
$('body').on('click', '#reset-button', function (event) {
$('.rideshare-item').show();
$('body').on('click', '#search-button', function (event) {
// Collect values
var date = $('.date').val().trim();
var time = $('.time').val();
var seatsAvailable = $('.seats-available').val();
var womenOnly = $("input[name='women-only']:checked").length ? "Yes" : "No";
var luggageSpace = $("input[name='luggage-space']:checked").length ? "Yes" : "No";
$('.rideshare-item, .no-result').hide();
$('.rideshare-item').each(function (a, b) {
var rideshareDate = $(b).data('date');
var rideshareTime = $(b).data('time');
var rideshareSeats = $(b).data('seats');
var rideshareWomen = $(b).data('women');
var rideshareLuggage = $(b).data('luggage');
if (date.length == 0) {
$(this).closest('.rideshare-item').show();
} else if (date.length > 0) {
var timestamp = Date.parse(date)
if (isNaN(timestamp) == false) {
if (parseDateEntry(date).getTime() == parseDateAttribute(rideshareDate).getTime()) {
$(this).closest('.rideshare-item').show();
// additional if-else statements can be found on the jsfiddle
if (rideshareSeats > seatsAvailable) {
$(this).closest('.rideshare-item').show();
if (womenOnly == rideshareWomen) {
$(this).closest('.rideshare-item').show();
if (luggageSpace == rideshareLuggage) {
$(this).closest('.rideshare-item').show();
