Try to create the following file:

/design/themes/YOUR_THEME/templates/addons/my_changes/hooks/search/additional_fields.pre.tpl

with this content:

{* dont delete this div. its really needed! *}
        {assign var="all_categories" value=0|fn_get_plain_categories_tree:false}
        
            - {__("all_categories")} -
            {foreach from=$all_categories item="cat"}
            {$cat.category|escape|truncate:50:"...":true|indent:$cat.level:"¦    ":"¦-- " nofilter}
            {/foreach}

Note:

- the My changes module should be activated

- cache should be cleared

- additional CSS changes may be required
