 * I am customising a search.php. Problem is that it only returns the same number
   of results that are set for posts in the reading options.
    I want to return a
   list of all posts in the cat but at the moment it is inside the loop so I am 
   flummoxed.

 * Just thinking aloud…
    Could it be possible to add a query_posts set to show 999
   before the Loop?
