If you are using default, blog, or URL redirect categories, they will not show up in search results.
Custom content categories and topic display categories are the only categories that show up in search results, since they contain their own content.
If you have a custom content category or topic display category that isn't coming up in search, it may be because:
- It's been set up to be excluded from search results. See Hide a category from navigation for more details.
- It's been excluded from search in Settings > Search or its within a category that's been explicitly excluded from search.
