1) What you describe is really a different bug. You want objects that are ONLY in a particular category. In your example, you did get an object back that had OAK assigned, but it also had EAGLE. If I'm reading you right, this is a completely different issue then what you desribed. There is no way, right now, to say, give me an object that has keyword A or cat A and nothing else.

2) Maybe you didn't mean a ONLY match. After rereading your post, it sounds like your trying to do a AND type search, ie, it has to be in both guys. Again, this is not possible currently, but it could be done with a modification to the search tag. Actually, since we pass the keywords the same way you pass them, a comma-delimited list, and Verity treats lists like that as an OR search, you may want to try passing the list of keywords like so:

apple AND oranges

If you look at mdkeywordobjectfind and see how it constructs the category restriction, you will see it's an OR string, which you could change to an AND, or change to Attributes.CategoryAndOr

4) You say you want to find objects that are assigned in category Foo (let's forget for a moment you want stories ONLY in Foo), if so, why are you using keywordobjectfind, why not use categoryobjectfind instead?
