How to do command line search by category name instead of catid?
I want to hardcode some search links and I want to make links to be searched only in a specific category.

Instead of specifying catid to search in only a specific category I want to specify the actual category names (because when you have a lot of categories it is easier to specify a category name instead of looking for the corresponding catid).

e.g. instead of using:

/search.cgi?d=1&catid=6&query=business&Go=Go

I would like to use:

/search.cgi?d=1&categoryname=Industries&query=business&Go=Go

Is this possible if so what is the correct variable for the category name?

thanks
