A string type will NOT use tokenizers, so that's probably not it....
There are several things that are extremely suspicious:
1> the '&' character in your URL. Add "debugQuery=on" and see what
happens there. I suspect everything after the & is interpreted as a
separate parameter and ignored.
2> even if the & isn't a problem, the general syntax of
fCategoryName:term1 term2 term3
usually means fCategoryName:term1 defaultField:term2
defaultField:term3. You probably
want something like fCategoryName:"term1 term2 term3"
