Create search keyword, analogous to [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:CirrusSearch#Intitle_and_incategory | incategory: ]] but allowing to include subcategories in the search too.
Proposed name: deepcategory:.
This will be done by using SPARQL queries to WDQS categories data as backend: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service/Categories

As an aside, I think it would be more useful to users to have semi-deep. Most people want ~4 or 5 levels deep. The category tree becomes very messed up (at least on commons) and usually results in weird results if you have 6 or more levels deep
@Bawolff yes, the depth is configurable by a parameter (wgCirrusSearchCategoryDepth) which defaults to 5 currently.
