The features of the list module are very limited. The selected catogories
would be shown as a simple list of their titles comma separted. I don't
know if more is possible in the list module.

It would be useful to improve the list module a little to behave like a
typical autogenarted search form:

1.) Moving the search word form to the top.

2.) Adding filter dropdowns that are autogenerated evaluating the tables
relations in the TCA. That means the categories in special.

3.) Putting a result pager below.

Last year I was also thinking of a few specialized modules to manage the
categories:
