metadata & category searching
How does links use the metadata field in the categories area of the admin menu? Is this to facilitate keyword searching?

Uh...no, it used for external spiders/bots to index your site into THEIR search engines.

If you want to use Keyword searching, just add another field in links.def and then edit @search_fields to include your new field number Wink

Andy,

Did you read the original post?? The user is referring to the CATEGORIES database, which is NOT searchable via the search.cgi. Thus, your suggestion is not a good one, IMO.
