Keywords can also be used to link different categories together so that a single keyword returns results in more than one category.  For example, you could create a keyword category called “Accommodations” that links the Hotels, Inns, and Motels categories.  When a directory user types “accommodations”  into the search field, the result includes all three categories.

Here “Helpers” has been set as the Keyword Category.  The directory categories associated with this keyword are: Window Washers, Florists, and Cleaning.  Entering the search term “Helpers” returns this result :
