I am having trouble using the search objects on a
particular query. I need to be able to search a category
AND it's subcategories by a specific product definition.

I can search a catgory with subcategories using the
Catalog.Category.GetProducts and setting the recursive.

I can do a product definition search by using the
CatalogSearch object and setting the where clause.

I can't find a way to do both in the same method?!  Any
ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

When you do a Search you can also specify a categoryName
CatalogSearch search ;
search.CatalogNames = "Catalogname";
search.CategoryName = "categoryname"
-- Other code

This will search only the descendants of this category. You can also specify
Recursive or non recursive search
