Improve mw.widgets.CategorySelector so that it can be used in something like HotCat
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Currently the widget searches for categories using only action=opensearch that is:

api.get( {
  action: 'opensearch',
  namespace: catNsId,
  limit: this.limit,
  search: input
} )

More search types are needed to support HotCat functionality.
