I am currently switching my site from the Simple Search Form to the Advanced Search Form. I would like to allow my users to search on the Categories for one channel. I used the example code provided in the documentation. I would really like to remove the "Channels" section on the search. I know I want to search one Channel (News). With the built Search module is there a way to do the multi-select on the category without the multi-select on the Channel?
I included a screenshot of what my search currently looks like and the code of the search template.
Thanks for your help!!!
