<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="6" >
<tr valign="top">


<?php
echo tep_draw_form('advanced_search', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get');
?>
<td class="smalltext" valign="top" align="right">
<?php
echo ' ' . tep_draw_hidden_field('search_in_description','1') . tep_draw_hidden_field('inc_subcat', '1', true) . tep_draw_input_field('keywords','','size="10" maxlength="30" class="searchForm" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-10) . 'px"') .' '. tep_draw_pull_down_menu('categories_id', tep_get_categories(array(array('id' => '', 'text' => TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES)))) . tep_hide_session_id() . '<br><br> '. tep_image_submit('button_search.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_SEARCH);

?>
</td>
</tr>
</table></form></td>

 

Then add the following in /includes/languages/english.php:

 

define('TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES', 'All Categories');

Excellent Thanks a million, how do i limit the drop down list to main categories only?

 

 

I Tried setting this:

 

tep_draw_hidden_field('inc_subcat', '1', true)

 

To this

 

tep_draw_hidden_field('inc_subcat', '0', false)

 

 

But it didn't affect it

 

Thanks Matti
