     Hi.  On the advanced search everything works but the "category" search.  If I select any category from the dropdown box I get results on the Search.aspx page with all ads.  I found a post that looked like it might fix this...

     

    ElseIf

    (Not (advParameters Is Nothing) AndAlso Not (advParameters.SearchTerm.Equals(String.Empty))) Then

     

    ' carry over just search term as regular search in category

    AdvancedSearch.ImportProperties(advParameters)

    ' fix category behavior -- THIS IS NEW LINE

    SearchTermTextBox.Text = advParameters.SearchTerm

    SetCurrentCategory(AdvancedSearch.CategoryId)    ....I tried adding the new line, but no change in results.

    Does anyone have an idea where else I might look for the problem, or any advice?  Thanks, Bev

     Hi again.  I have searched through the forums and found one solution (the one in the message prior to this), but I must be doing something wrong.  The fix doesn't appear to work for me.

    If your advanced search by category is working would someone please give me a hint or a directionn to start troubleshooting?  Thanks, Bev

     Hi again,  I really am not being lazy.  I have searched all through the forums and I did find a solution, but it didn't work in my site.

    Has anyone fixed the advanced search so it searches by category when all of the other search boxes are empty?  I would really appreciate any guidance on this one.  Thanks.
