Is there a way to have the Search limit to that same category?

I found that within the “circled” template, with the Search function manually re-enabled, it actually returns results for that school only… which is what we want. * If we decide to go with TilePlus using the link as you suggested ( [https://www.timberlane.net/trsd-staff-directory-v2-tileplus/?cn-s=&cn-cat=13](https://www.timberlane.net/trsd-staff-directory-v2-tileplus/?cn-s=&cn-cat=13)), Is there a way to remove this notification at the top?: “You are searching within category(ies): Danville School” * Is there a way to have all entries on one page? * Also – We are also looking at using Gridder. [https://www.timberlane.net/trsd-staff-directory-v2-gridder/](https://www.timberlane.net/trsd-staff-directory-v2-gridder/) Is there a way to shrink the grid/photos to a smaller size? From a desktop computer, there are 3 photos per row. I’d like smaller photos at 4-5 per row, as the pictures provided to us are in a lower thumbnail quality. * Thank you for your assistance with my many questions. We are tryng to get things set up right on one site, before deploying to 7 more! * -Dean - This reply was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by [dzanello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dzanello/). - This reply was modified 4 years, 2 months ago by [dzanello](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dzanello/). * Plugin Author [Steven](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shazahm1hotmailcom/) * (@shazahm1hotmailcom) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-function-83/#post-15497453) * **RE: Is there a way to remove this notification at the top?: “You are searching within category(ies): Danville School” * Please navigate to the Connections Settings admin page and click the Display tab. * Disable the “Show Clear Search Message” option and save the change. * **RE: Is there a way to have all entries on one page?** * Pagination can be disabled on a template, but if you have a large directory ( 100 or more), that will negatively affect the page load speed.
