Click the Contacts button.
Next to the search menu is another pull down menu - one of the options
is "Category is". Select that - and you should be able to pick from any
of the categories which will then be in the next menu.

This is with Ximian 1.0.8 that ships with Red Hat 8 - I haven't used any
other versions of Ximian.
