Can I use limiters directly in links? For example, a link that displays all records that have the word "property" in the meaning field?
Yes. Please see the FAQ for @1 Links Submission and Approval System III. They work similarly.

I believe I've installed the script correctly but whenever I try to enter something I get an "incorrect password" error. I've double checked the script and it does indeed have the password I am using.
By default all action URLs in the forms that come with the script in the zip file are pointing to UPOINT's demo script. Have you changed them so that they are pointing to your own script? There may be more than one form in the HTML page.

Can I eliminate the Category field?
If you do not want the Category field, just delete the input box from the submit form. Since input to the Category field is required by default, you have to disable the input checking. Open the script and go to section "#R4". Go to the one for Category field and follow the instruction there to make the input for Category optional. After that, delete the Category field too from the user search form.

Can I rename a field, eg. Category?
Yes. Open all the HTML forms as well as the script and replace the word Category with another name. Please make sure that the name is ONE word. Do not replace it with a two-word name such as The Subject. Also, when you search and replace, please make sure that you turn on the case-sensitive feature and turn off the "whole word" feature.

If you really need to change it to another name with more than one word, it is still possible. But you have to be very very careful. The trick is to replace with The_Subject. This is because it will be used as variables such at $The_Subject (blanks in variables will produce execution errors).
