 * I’m sorry if this is a silly question, but is it possible to use attributes with
   the search shortcode and if so, is there a list? At the moment we are using the
   FAQ with two languages (each divided into categories) and it would be awesome
   to limit the search results to one particular language or set of categories to
   avoid user confusion.

 * Hi baffled,
 * You should be able to use the “include_category” and “exclude_category” attributes
   in the [ultimate-faq-search] shortcode. For example, you could do something like
   the following: [ultimate-faq-search include_category=”my-category-slug”]

 * Thanks! That works perfectly, I didn’t realise they worked with search too. I’m
   a very happy user 🙂
