Hi  
I there a way to search in fullname of categories ?

```auto
Cat1
  - Cat2
    - Cat3
Cat10
  - Cat2
    - Cat3

```

I want to know if `Cat1 / Cat2 / Cat3` is present ? This on client or by domain query (in code).

Regards

Yes the TreeMixin used for record name of category has an implementation of the search\_rec\_name.  
So you can search on “Record Name” as usual.

In the Tryton client if I write ‘Cat1 / Cat2 / Cat3’ in search zone, it doesn’t return anything, what is the correct syntax to search in ‘record name’ ?

You must search on the list and not the tree.

Ok, the query need double quote `"Cat1 / Cat2 / Cat3"`.
