Hi Christopher, Looks like you are on the right track with the categories module. Since the university is a CMS customer you should also have access to the Search module. Set up a new database profile (you might need help from system administration with that) that only indexes the knowledge base directory and then use the <search-form> and related RXML tags to do the searching.
