Module development and code questions

Is it possible to disable a category? I can disable the menuitem, but the category will be displayed in the table of contents of the container. And the category is also added in the navigation links to point to distant neighbors.

Does anyone knows a quick solution for this problem?

I've been trying to find a clean way to use the search module inside of a module that I am creating. I need users to be able to search for nodes, and then select them. The selected nodes will then be associated with another node. From what I can tell, the search module is geared toward allowing a user to search for and view nodes, and it doesn't really lend itself to being embedded in other modules.

Is there a clean and elegant way to do this, or should I copy parts of the search module?

Hi I've installed the Vote-Up-Down module that comes with Userpoints integration. I've also installed the Voting Actions module and the User Points module. They're all working good, however what I would like to do is to set the action so that whenever an article is vote +1 the user gets +5 points and whenever the comment is voted -1 the user gets -5 points. How should I go about doing this?

Thanks,
Michael
