Ruud Riem-Vis,

The behavior you are describing is not a limition (and not a bug). The
intended usage of the field 'category' on the search view is to filter
on a specific category.

The search view is specified at
openerp/addons/base/res/partner/partner_view.xml:342 and use,
purposefuly, a simple 'field' element.

It is possible to get the behavior you want by changing the search view
and using an attribute operator="child_of".

Well, actually it works for many2one fields but the category on a
partner is a many2many and a bug exists. The proposed patch above should
correct that.

Title:
  [filtering] does not support hierarchy

Status in OpenERP Server:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  In v6, the filtering cannot be performed on "view"-type items in the
  category field of a partner for example. Consider the following case:

  Define partner categories as follows:

  man
  man->thin
  man->thick
  woman
  woman->thin
  woman->thick

  Now if you have a set of partners, you can define a filter on "thin",
  on "thick" but not on "man" or "woman" or "woman thick". This means
  that you cannot find back a thin woman in a filter for example.

  I believe this is an unwanted limitation of the filter mechanism.
