You are adding (eg) "XCATEGORYEngelse boeken" as a term. However the
way the query parser expects this to be added, is for you to use
TermGenerator or similar to index the text "Engelse boeken" with a
prefix of "XCATEGORY". If you do this, you'll end up with two terms,
"XCATEGORYEngels" and another one for boeken (depending on what that
stems to). Then searching with the prefix should work as you desire.
