Moodle 1.5 will be able to create questions that could be added into different categories?

Thanks.

No, a question can only be in one category. However I would like it to be possible to assign keywords to questions. A question will certainly then be able to have several keywords. See http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=17181 for my proposal. This will probably not make it in time for Moodle 1.5 though.

I'm still new to moodle but from what I've seen so far this tool is great!

I understand Moodle 1.5 will have category hierarchies something I am really looking forward to. I'm guessing the implementation of this will be such that if you select a category to search on all the questions in the sub categories will be displayed as well. Can you confirm this is the case?

Also as a suggestion perhaps the ability to have mutiple category structures and to allocate a question to a category in each structure would be beneficial.

As an example in NSW, Australia there is a science syllabus for year 7 - 10. I'd really like to be able to store the Science Syllabus structure in a category hierarchy and store another category with generic topics. ie cells to allow increase the ability to search for questions.
