Different search for categories #3

Closed trewknowledge closed 12 years ago

trewknowledge commented 12 years ago

Hello,

I created a custom post type which has three different categories.

So I have essentially 4 template pages:

Is it possible to add the search form in the "individual archive" pages to only search for items within that category. So if I was in the page that was only viewing "Restaurant" posts the search results will only display other restaurants, instead of displaying the results for every category?

I will be trying to mess around with this to get it working but any suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks!

Make you own search form template based on search-form-default.php. Instead of using the comma separated category ids from the widget, make your own hidden input with the category id you want.

Will this also work with taxonomy terms instead of categories?

There are some limitations in that case - the same mentioned in issue #2.
