The category suggestion tool seems to provide a simple typeahead search, but provides no way to go and see if the categories you've found are relevant.

At a minimum, you should be able to open up the category page via a link from the search box and and the little tag display.

Better still might be a little preview that pulls the description text (if any) and some sample contents right within the dialog box.

Seems like a nice idea. Provide a link in the category menu?
