[wp-hackers] Search in multiple categories

[Tom Jenkins]

You just need to have your category dropdown within the search form itself.

<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url');?>/" >
<label for="s">Search</label>

<input type="text" value="<?php echo
attribute_escape(apply_filters('the_search_query', get_search_query())) ?>"
name="s" id="s" />

<label for="">Topic</label>

<?php
wp_dropdown_categories('depth=0&orderby=name&hide_empty=1&show_option_all=Search
Everything'); ?>

<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />

</form>
