**As an admin (or moderator?) I want to be able to see the categories of posts when searching for a topic for which to move a post/reply, so I can more clearly identify the actual “correct” topic.**

The current UI allows searching, but the results don’t show category, and with similar topic titles, this can quickly become confusing:

An easier way to look this up would be great 🙂

@techapj can you add category here?

Longer term this should probably reuse search code..
