Wesley, it sounds like you just need a standard "inner-object" mapping instead of a "nested mapping". The nested mapping is indexed and queried differently (i.e. you need to use the nested query/filter). In your case, I would just remove the nested type from categories and your query should work fine. Just double check the right casing of your field names when you query them.
