Preselected Category for Search

[seymourjames +]

Well I just tried it and it kind of works on the evo template (same issue on the default template). It recognizes the category fine and drops the appropriate extrafields.

What it does not do however is change the label inside the category dropdown box - it still says search all.

I managed to get it working as well, and have the same effect with search all.
I will work on this and post a fix. Thanks for looking into this seymourjames.

Newbie question.

Can I use this for one single category in one single category specific browse page w/o it changing the normal behavior of other search forms?

Specifically, can I include it above, say, automobile browse page or real estate browse page(or both), for the search to only work on that category?

(im not sure if I explained my question correctly), please let me know.

Thanks!

As I figured...

Can I use a separate search module for any category of my choosing w/o it changing the behavior of the other search boxes in the script? I guess something like the featured listings plugin where you specify the category.

Sorry, I might have missed the answer within the thread.
