 * I’m seeking a plugin or piece of code that will allow my blog visitors to search
   for either Accommodation, or for Surfbreaks
 * In my posts section, I currently have 3 main categories:
    1.Accommodation 2.Surfbreaks
   3.Location (which contains many sub-categories)
 * Every single post that I write belongs to EITHER Category 1 OR Category 2, AND
   also belongs to a subcategory within Category 3. (In other words, every post 
   is either a Surfbreak, or an Accommodation, attributed to a particular location)
 * I want users to be able to search for all Surfbreaks in a particular location,
   and similarly search for all Accommodations in a particular location.

 * By making it simpler 🙂
 * ‘How can I limit search on a per-category basis?’
 * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-everything/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-everything/)
   comes to mind.
 * Google for “wordpress search category only” has this:

 * I think you got my request wrongly 🙂
 * I don’t want search in categories.
 * I want something like this

 * Surfbreaks is a category.
 * You want to find all posts that are in the category Surfbreaks AND in a certain
   location (which is also a category).
 * So if you search for ‘Location’ within the category Surfbreaks, you’ll have the
   same result. Or search for multiple categories: location and Surfbreaks. But 
   then that’s not actually a search, persey, but a listing.
 * I’d almost say you’d be better off with a different organization. Since location
   contains many sub-categories, which I’m presuming are the actual locations, make
   those TAGS instead.
 * Still. Try the search-everything plugin. It may have what you want, though not
   in that site’s format.
