Is it possible to generate a link to search inside a specific category?

I want to search for a specific tag inside a specific category, and then list the results.

Example
LINK_TO_CLICK_ON -> Search results with all posts tagged with "audi" inside the "cars" category.

Of course I can create all those pages manually with the wp_query_posts() function, but this would take up months to do it for all possible combinations :)

I just want to use search.php or archive.php etc.

Would you consider a handsome paypal donation for a working beta version within a week or two? I cant find anything else that does this, and i sure aint sure how to code it, but i gotta deadline in 3 weeks.

@Eddie: Neat Idea, I may put it in the next version. But currently, no, there's no way of doing that.

Hi there,

Would it be possible to have some settings on this plugin where i can search under a parent category(pg) for its child categories(cg).

i.e> Price (pg) to show 1,000-5,000(cg) and 5,000-10,000(cg)

and another one to show something else

i.e> Year (pg) to show 1990-2000(cg) and 2000-2010(cg)

showing at the same time?

In conclusion, making settings to customize the drop down menu's with specific pg and cg's giving [sbc1], [sbc2]...etc

@Jeremy: You can use the "Search Everything" plugin to customize search results.

Is there a way to allow searching of the text used in the Blogroll (Linklist) and Link Categories? Another plugin perhaps or maybe this can be altered?

Hi! Thanks for this plugin. i am using it and it's working fine but I'm searching how to replace the drop-down menu by a list of categories (selection using radio buttons). Anyone who can help on adding this feature? Can we simply modify something in the plugins code? Thanks for your help. Laurent.

I created a post and added a tag (my zip code) to it. Then I searched for that zip code and nothing showed up. Is there a setting in wordpress that I don't know about that needs to be set?

Also the [sbc] tag still forces the search form to the to of my post...any ideas how I can make it show up half way down the post where I would like to have it?

Thanks again!

Wordpress search is already configured to search based on tags. All this plugin does is remove results that aren't in the selected category.

Glad you enjoy the plugin.

Your latest update fixed the error and now it will allow me to select categories to exclude from the dropdown. One more question though, how can I make this plugin include tags in its search?

Thanks, awesome plugin by the way!
