I haven't actually tried this, but here's how I think I would go about it. First, I would grab the category with the get_the_category() function (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_category). This returns an array of the categories belonging to that post. Then I would extract the first category of the array and use that instead of the hard coded category. I'm not really sure if I explained that very well or not. Let me know how it goes.

Meaning a person is viewing either a category archive page, or a single article and wants to search for other articles within the category page they are viewing. So I could have a search box on the sidebar, where if a person is viewing cat 'abc' it would search cat 'abc' and if a person is viewing an article or archive for cat 'xyz' they would get to search 'xyz'.. Basically dumping the hardcode and replacing with a dynamic variable determined via the cat displayed. How would I go about doing this dynamically?

I'm using SyntaxHighlighter Plus, but I edited the stylesheet a little. It's been working great for me, however, it's no longer maintained. You might want to check out SyntaxHighlighter Evolved instead (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/). Thanks for the heads up on the footer link.

That's a great WP 'hack!' I am definitely going to have to use that! What code highlighter are you using? It's nice. (fyi, you have a broken link in your footer.) Dang!
