This would work, however you must make sure links are in there as Unvalidated, or they will still show up in search results.
PRESTO!!! That's EXACTLY what I want! A hidden category that is still searchable. This now gives me a way to import links WITH category even though most of my links have not been assigned a category. I simply default to the hidden category if none other was specified at the time of submission or during spidering. I can not believe that I am the only one who wants this.

I also need to apply this same type of category exclusion in page.cgi. Can you tell me where?

Also, since I have uncovered a bug in MySQLMan which allows importing duplicate records even though I instruct it to "Ignore duplicate records":

1) Is there a fix for this?
2) Is there a way to use Database/Import from Links 2.x to Append new records instead of rewriting the entire database?
3) Is there a way to use Links/Properties/Import at all? Every time I try it tells me I have not specified a category. From I can see, there is now way to specify a category. What am I missing?
