That would not work out too because the search pagination and other Connections related queries would affect all instances of the shortcode on the page.

Something that might work well enough for you could be this…

The Widget Pack has a search widget. You could add this widget to the theme’s sidebar. This widget would do a search on the page set as the directory home page.

So, you could create a “Results”. The page name does not matter, it can be anything that is relevant to your useage.

You would set the page as the directory home page.

This page would have only a single instance of the shortcode with no options.

You would then change the shortcodes on the category grouping page like so:

Category xx
[connections category='xx' force_home=true]
Category yy
[connections category='yy' force_home=true]
Category zz
[connections category='zz' force_home=true]

Now all links on the category grouping page would resolve to the “Results” page too.

I know other use this type of setup although I can not think of any I could show you off hand.

Hope that helps!
