Category filtering not working on staging

[that1guy]

Staging ENV is simply not performing category filtering. I cannot reproduce this issue on my local machine so could be related to freeGeoIP outage. #51

Category filtering on staging returning everything.

If you are attempting to filter to 1 category, this does not work when it is supplied as optional in the query params. If filtering to postings within a single category, supply that category as mandatory (think of the mandatory clause as AND and the optional clause as OR).

Sorry! Going to implement now!

[that1guy]

For now I'm implementing workaround that always passes in two categories at minimum. When I convert my query objects from dot notation to the required bracket notation url for posting api I run into a very odd issue that I can't resolve at moment.
