    Try adding:

    $where_str .= "p2c.categories_id = '" . (int)$categories_id . "' and ";

    after

    $keyword = tep_db_prepare_input($search_keywords[$i]);

    where $categories_id is the specific id of the category to be searched. Searching all sub cats is a different story.

    The following contribution allows searching of the entire site. It adds the following features:

    • Search in product descriptions
    • Search in product attributes
    • Search in language files
    • Search in articles (if Article Manager addon installed)
    • Search in pages (if Page Editor addon installed)
    • If a search is performed on a word and no product matches are found, a form
      appears allowing the customer to email the shop owner asking for information
      about the product.
    • A modified version of the Advanced Search Box is included. The price boxes and
      category selector can be enabled/disabled via settings in the
      includes/boxes/search.php file.
