Categories in iCal?

I have searched this forum for an answer to "how to create categories in calendar." I was a big outlook user but am trying not to use Entourage and stick with iCal and Mail. I loved the categories feature in my Outlook Calendar. I like to categorize different types of jobs that I do. I could search on this category throughout the year to see what jobs I have done this most. I read in another post that I would have to assign a new calendar in place of the categories? Is this accurate? Please let me know. I don't want to give up on iCal.

MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

yes, you would create a calendar for each main category, as in wor1, work2, work3... family, personal.... and ascribe a different color to each so they are easy to recognize on the main window once populated with events. you can also create calendar groups where you would group families of calendars, as in work, family, vacation....
to create a calendar: file>new calendar or click on the + sign at the left bottom corner.
to create a group calendar: flie>new calendar group

hope this helps
