Thanks. I am using local files so FileRules was what I was looking for.

That's a good idea. Will do if I ever need it.

One more question that is along the same idea...

I have a category META tag in my documents that I want to be able to 
filter my searches on as well. If I have the appropriate MetaNames 
setup I understand that this would work from the command line...

    swish-e -w 'category=("my category") and this is "my search 
phrase"'

does this translate into
   $search->Query('category=("my category") and this is "my search 
phrase"')

as well.

Thanks
