Use

You can group together different search object connectors to search categories. Search categories allow users to narrow down their search by searching, for example, only in the "Business Partners" category. You can assign both search object connector models and search object connectors to specific search categories. By default, a search object connector inherits the categories from its model.

You can create search categories and delete search categories both in the modeler when creating models and also in the administration cockpit.
