1. If you are new to PHP this might not be the best thing to start with. You'll have to modify the search routine to look at the Categories_description fields, then modify the Results page to display categories. Possible but messy.

 

A better approach might be to include those keywords into the descriptions of the appropriate products, then modify Search to search in descriptions. There is a Contribution to do this, and it's quite easy to apply.

 

2. This is the newbies section. Don't worry about it; we all start out here.

 

3. With HTML. The easiest way is to edit your description in an HTML editor, then paste it into the description box.
