When the user types in the search PHP it should find the questions that have category id of 1
I store my category id in a column in question called "tags" it's serialized of couse because the user may have chosen multiple tags / categories.
The category table name is category and columns "category_id" "name" "status"
a:2:{i:0;s:1:"1";i:1;s:1:"4";}
I can search for questions fine but cannot search if it is a category they are searching for.
Any idea's and examples thanks for your time
