Right now we provide searching for categories in both the calendar and the addressbook. The addressbook just list all the categories from the category list, while the calendar (and tasks) makes backends track the categories and only makes those categories in use available via the search bar.
We need to make this consistent between the various components, the question is how. There are several options: 1. Make the address book backends track categories like calendar. This is a problem for LDAP because it needs to load every single entry in order to know all the categories. Networked calendar backends will have this problem moving forward as well. 2. Make the calendar/tasks searching just pull from the category list. This needs a way to organize all the categories, we just can't list 50 categories. 3. Make category searching use a user entered string to search with (just like name or summary). Although this allows the user to organize, say tasks, with categories like "Work - Project A" and "Work - Project B" and search for "Work" it doesn't give the user all the info they could be getting.
