Search inside a single “$cat” (category)

  • Hey,
    I’m looking for a way to search only in a single category.
    I tried index.php?s=SearchText&cat=2 (category number)
    But it still shows up all the posts from the other categories.
    Some help is welcome.

  • The search functions in WP need a lot of work in my opinion, but I’m sure their time in the sun will come soon. ??
    As for the present day, you could use google. Something like https://google.com/search?site=yoursite.com&allinurl=category/my-category.
    The html would be trivial and a plugin could be made to allow users to select the category (how were you managing that btw?). Could be fun!
    Not the prettiest solution, but it works.

    No one ever made the search to work with &cat=(current cetagory) ?..
    Well, for the categories I just added links on the left and edited the code of the (archives) that it includes the &cat of the current page in the url of it.. and with search I added a hiden object with cat tag.. only the search code isn’t working with teh &cat tag…

    Do you mind posting the code for what you did? I’m trying to do something similar, and yours seems to be working pretty well (?).
