Thanks for the info, but I don’t want to do an external search; I only want to search within Discourse, but in specific categories.

That’s exactlywhat i mean. You want to config it with the link for your category and add a “q?=” if i remember correctly. Here’s a sample link from meta: Search results for 'test #support:self-hosting' - Discourse Meta

You need to config it with your category icon.
