Here’s one way to do it:

And another:

Thanks Das3Zehn!

Just one thing… it would work better if your zip included ther ‘flexible-upload’ folder as well (so you could use scripts like Plugin Central to install it).

I’m having a different SVN error trying to nupdate my plugin:

Commit failed (details follow):
OPTIONS of 'http://svn.wp-plugins.org/barack-obama-sidebar-widget/trunk':
Could not resolve hostname 'svn.wp-plugins.org':
The requested name is valid and was found in the database,
but it does not have the correct associated data being
resolved for. (http://svn.wp-plugins.org)

Any ideas?

If you want to search only the current category (and exclude results from pages, showing posts only) you need to edit the following files in your theme:

First, edit the search.php file. Just above the loop paste the following code:

<?php
if ($_GET['cat'] != '') {
	$posts = query_posts($query_string . '&post_type=post'); // return only posts
} else {
	$posts = query_posts($query_string . '&post_type=page'); // return only posts
}
?>

Next you need to modify your search form to search only the current category. Replace the default form with:

<?php $category = get_the_category(); ?>
<form method="get" id="jobsearch" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
<div><input type="text" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="hidden" name="cat" value="<?php echo $category[0]->cat_ID; ?>" />
<input type="submit" id="jobsubmit" value="Search Jobs" />
</div>
</form>

That should do it.
