Sounds good. It gave me an idea to disable all of the searches on my
system that I don't want "by category", by using the following method
(though bulky, it's not quite as cumbersome as fifty clicks - I hate
the mouse).
* Open a Windows Explorer view of the DQSD search
directory and open the search toolbar.
> ".xml" in [Search For]
> "<category>Entertainment</category>" in [Containing text]
> [Search Now]
> Then I used a tool of my own design (FixNames, available
here: http://ReliableAnswers.com/Freeware/#FixNames ) to
replace ".xml" with ".disabled" in the file names
After three searches I 'fixed' the Fun, Finance and Entertainment
searches, and had only to 'fix' the system aliases to remove
references to the searches that were disabled. THIS is something that
the enable/disable engine will have to take into account, since it's
not something that can be readily automated by file system recursion.
Otherwise, it raises errors if these searches aren't loaded. :(
