 * Sorry new to word press coding / php
 * I have a website which has a search function in the header which searches the
   whole site however I want to add a search function in a category page which only
   searches in that category.
 * Can i use the current search function but say if in category (directory) only
   show results for that category?
 * This is what calls the current search function <?php get_search_form() ;?>
    could
   I add something in here or do I need to write a whole new search function.
 * Help much appreciated…
