Search through categories (actually list category names as output)
Is this possible? I was recommended to Low Search by someone at Stack Overflow who said it was, and it is critical for a client.
It's very simple, really.
The site we've built has a search bar and using default ExpressionEngine Search I simply take them to a results page which shows any and all entries (And their associated category).
The rub is, they're running an ecommerce store. The product they're selling are the color variations of the pattern itself.
So, for instance, Pattern: Benday, color: Apple.
'Apple' is the entry, not 'Benday' which is the category.
What they want (don't ask me why) is for someone to search for "Benday" and a result page to show "Benday" which you can then click on and lead to its product page.
Is this possible? This is absolutely critical.

Low Search allows you to find entries using keywords present in categories, but Low Search will always return Channel Entries. The Results tag basically is the same as the
channel:entriestag, but with added filters/parameters. It does not return categories, but the entries that contain them.Mike Watson 8 Jul 2014 18:58
That's what I was afraid of. Alright, thanks.
