Hello jforth,
Thanks for your patience and sorry for the delay.
This was a new issue for me! It seems searching by category is not something currently supported, I assumed it would be!
If you have a moment, we’d love for you to submit your idea to our UserVoice forum. We take user ideas and contributions very seriously, and many times their ideas end up in our future releases.
Also, this might seem like a silly extra step, but for the time being you can simply include the category word in the body of the event, and it comes up in search. I tested this with my event category ‘shindig’ and it worked immediately.


Does this make sense? Let me know if this doesn’t work for you.
Cheers!
