Sorry I’ve never used it.
What I’d do, which is a pain in the ass – I’m aware of that – is to make my own search function and SQL query, at least I’d get what I want as the output.

notepad++?

You could trim the result or if you do a print_r of your variable (use
< pre > markup) maybe you can retrieve the “raw” info of what your looking for. I do that with Drupal.

Hi,

I used something like this, to display hashes

<?php
                //will hold hashes of posts, by index in their cat
                $hash = Array();
		$args=array(
				'orderby' => 'count'
		);
                $i = 0;
                //will hold cat ID and count of posts in it
		$nb_prj_cat = Array();
                //find all categories
		foreach((get_categories($args)) as $category) {
			//desired cat
			if(($category->cat_ID == 5) || ($category->cat_ID == 6)){
//count posts in cat
				$nb_post = $category->category_count;
				//how many projects in cat
                                $nb_prj_cat[$i] = array($category->cat_ID , $nb_post);
                                //initiate hash
				$hash[$i] = 0;
				$i++;
				//echo $nb_post;
				//echo $category->cat_ID;
			}
		}

<?php if (have_posts()) :  while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<?php
//we read it for each post
//retrieve categories of post
			$cat = wp_get_post_categories($post->ID, $args);
                      //read category considering its amount of posts
                       for($i = 0; $i < count($nb_prj_cat[$i]); $i++){
							//if cat of the post == one of the categories above
                               if ($cat[0] == $nb_prj_cat[$i][0]){
					$hash[$i]++;
                                        display html...

I guess this works for a little amount of categories, and a bit abstract because of the 3 arrays, but maybe you can inspire from it somehow
