    Match on menu category during application search
    
    Being able to display all applications in a category based on the search
    string with a category name is generaly useful.
    
    Prepare all the applications that match a search term based on their
    category name up-front.
    
    Remove unused this._appCategories and a call to non-existing
    itemInfo.get_categories()
