Allow search to take multiple categories

If multiple categories are provided it is expected that the backend
will effectively perform a union operation.  i.e. any places
that match one or more of the categories are returned.

It is possible however that some backends may not support
multiple categories.  In this case the first category is used and the
rest ignored.
