This thread might be helpful. I haven’t tried out the plugin myself, but the demo looks fantastic.
Thanks…that’s not exactly what I am looking for but it’s cool.
Maybe there’s the potential to modify the plugin. It might also be an idea to email the plugin author as well 🙂
I found this which is close…not sure how to implement this.

Try leaving out the minus sign when including the categories, and see if that limits the search to those categories, rather than exclude them.
So:
<?php
if( is_search() ) :
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("s=$s&paged=$paged&cat=1,2,3");
endif;
?>
Thank you for the help. I think this will do the trick!
You’re welcome! :)Thanks for the feedback! It’s always good to know when a suggestion works
I don’t know where this code is placed – could you elaborate on the placement of this code and anything else I’d need to know to create a search result on a specific category?
Thanks so much.
Hi,
I was exactly looking for a piece of code to limite the search to certain categories. Your code works well !!
<?php if( is_search() ) :
$paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
query_posts("s=$s&paged=$paged&cat=1,2,3");
endif; ?>
But, I want the category to be dynamic :
From the web page archive.php, I want to store the current category (something like $my_category = “current categorie”) and call this variable in the search result web page search.php (query_posts(“S= …” cat=”.$my_category). As I am a dummy in PHP langage, I don’t know what I need to write …. could you help me?
Thanks in advance
