Re: Searching- what's next

Gotchya - 

also, I want to modify the Categories table to include a "Type" column.
Initially, types will only be "Category" (or something to that affect...
maybe 'container') and "Application".  This will improve the performance of
certain querys (like select all applications) dramaticly, and allow us to
really flesh out a kick ass tree down the line.Since we are talking about
putting restrictions in place depending on certain things, this'll be the
easiest way to make it happen.

I don't think there is any way this is going to affect your code Aaron, but
here's what it will affect:

The category Maintenance stuuf I'm working on.
The Article Submission stuff Dan is on (Although I doubt you began the part
it will affect yet since I haven't even gotten with you on that needed
feature unless you already forsaw it... catch up with me on it dan.)
