   Is there a methodology for the search form that will allow me to specify which categor(y|ies) i want to use in the search process, e.g.: a hidden field i can add to the search form where i can list the categor(y|ies) to search?

   Maybe a plugin that enhances WP's basic search feature.

   да... :)
   It is a "real WP site". It is even listed in the Codex.

   There is also something called "search everything" - see the Extend > Plugins section.

   thanks but the search everything in an inclusive search, where as i need more of a restricted search on a per page basis, so if i am in the news-funny category the search option by default searches only that category and any child categories, but by the user clicking a checkbox (for example) the search is site wide or vice versa default is site wide check to search only category xyz

   i think the search in category plugin is a good place for me to start, not too good with php, but I'll see what i can get with some code tweaking

   thanks again
