I have 5 different sites using powerseek.
I wish there was an easy way for me to take the contents of 4 of them and add them under 4 categories in the 1 search engine. Is there an easy way to do that? There is many links, I wanted the easiest method?
Anyone have any ideas?

You could setup one new directory which includes categories, and sub categories that your current directories cover. Import the data from your old directories, and point your old domains at the new categories which have now taken over and are on the new directory. You can create custom templates for the categories that you have imported, so that they still look like they are independent.

Hmmm Ive got hundreds of subcategories.
This is why I wished I could import cats and subcats and of course the links. Guess there is no easy way, aw well.

Hey gurudood,
Off the top of my head, there is a theoratical way that I am yet to try as it could be painful:
- A mysql backup dump to 4 text files for each of the 4 old domains, editing and merging them all into one file, inserting that file on your 5th domain and do a restore, would be wise to backup the 5th domain first in case it does not work ..
Let me know if it works

To do this export links from the other the PowerSeek installations into comma delimited text files (category by category). If have MyPHPAdmin you can do with that.
Then import links from the comma delimited text files into the categories of the installation you want it via the import function. For more on the import function see:
http://www.focalmedia.net/pseekmanual/pseek4.html#4_10
You cannot merge the contents of the table because there might be conflicting record IDs. If you make backups of all data it may be worth a try, as MySQL will usually not insert duplicate IDs into records. Beware of identical category names as it will create duplicate categories that might cause problems.
