# Categories

Find a category:

```sh theme={null}
channel3 categories search --query "sofas"
```

Inspect category detail:

```sh theme={null}
channel3 categories retrieve --slug sofas
```

Pass a category slug to product search:

```sh theme={null}
channel3 products search \
  --query "sectional" \
  --filters.category "sofas"
```

Category detail also exposes structured attributes you can use for more precise searches. See [Category](/concepts/category).
