Hi,
This questions may have already been covered, but I can't seem to find the right resources or forum links for it.
I'm trying to implement a feature that will allow surfers to search the whole site, or just the category and all sub-cateogories that they are currently located in.
As well, I want to create a remote search box for my site, I want to be able to limit which main category the search box searchs in. for an example now that I have confused everyone.
Site A: is on GM cars
Site B: is on Ford cars.
Site C: is on VW cars
I want to put a search box on site A that will only search the /GM/ catgory and all sub categories etc.
I want to put a search box on site B that will only search the /Ford/ catgory and all sub categories etc.
I want to put a search box on site A that will only search the /VW/ catgory and all sub categories etc.
Right now I have about 25 main cateogories in the site, with over 800 catogories in total.
I can get the html site of it done, I'm wondering if there is a way to pass a hidden variable from withing hte <FORM> / <INPUT> tag that will tell search.cgi to only search category xxx and it's sub categories.
I've found this thread but it seems a little confusion.

Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
