There's no reason why the indexer couldn't pull in categorylinks instead of
whatever its doing now (parsing wikitext?) but we are currently short on
resources when it comes to developing around lucene.  An upgraded search
infrastructure with real-time indexing and greater accessibility around index
definitions could open the door to all sorts of features that aren't currently
practical in mediawiki at wikipedia scale.
