I have an alphabetical menu for categories and I want it only to bring up categories beneath [5]. I have the following, which of course brings up ALL categories.
Didn't notice you were doing a categories search, not a links search. There's no mechanism for searching only particular categories for subcategories. I see the search categories template is messed up anyway, it's using the forum one.

bummer. Is there any way this could be done in future (near pref )? I have a specific category that has 200 subs and it would be really good on that. I am sure this would be handy for anybody who has a category with area (county / state) sub-cats (as per the above particular instance at http://thehikingscene.co.uk/walking-routes/)
As a custom project it should be doable in an hour. Otherwise I'm concentrating on debugging right now, and subcategory searches aren't likely to be used by many people (if anyone else at all) so it'd be unlikely in the near future.
By the way, I'm getting the page-covering magenta box there as I was on your other sites in Opera... so I can't see your categories. In firefox it briefly flashes over most of the page but then retreats to the corner where it makes a very ugly gray box around the "click here"... which turns into the page-covering magenta on mouseover (so it's useable in firefox but still rather annoying). Maybe that layer needs a lower z-index or something.

no prob - debugging comes first - I've gone this long without it May ask you after the release.

That's very strange, because when I look in both Opera and Firefox it works perfectly, which is why I didn't remove it. It's actually a javascript that operates it, I shall pass your message on to the person who wrote it. Could there be something specific to your computer?
It was clearly a flash layer which was covering, a right-click showed the usual flash menu. Flash might behave differently under Linux, I know they have a problem with their Linux plugin which causes the menus on adobe.com to be hidden behind the big flash layer... but I don't see how that bug would relate here.

Flash 9.0.48, Opera 9.23.
my server is linux, just upgraded to opera 9.23. Shows ok on all my sites that I have. Weird. Have written to the person who wrote the javascript (the script enables the flash). Most frustrating as we don't know who else or how many have a problem with it :-(

The flash plugin is a desktop program running in the browser, not the server, so your desktop not being linux must be why it looks different to you.
