OK, I give up... what's the point of having category keywords --- which are stored in the category.db -- if the search tool only searches fields in links.db??

I need to have my search also search the keywords assigned to a category -- any idea how to do this?

For example, in my case I have CATGORIES of peoples names -- in last name first name format, for example "Smith_Bob"

...but when someone searches on "Bob Smith" I want the category to come up, so I added I keyword of "Bob Smith" to the category. ...but the search fails to cover the category keyword.

Any solutions?

Thanks...
