On Outdoors there is blue icon that says what category a question is in when searching by tag. However when categories share the same tag set it will say that Q&A posts are in the Gear Recommendations category if you are searching from the Gear Recommendations category.

All of the questions in the screenshot except the middle are from the Q&A but the icon says Gear Recommendations.

It looks like its pulling in the Category Name and not the category the post is in.
