prusaprinters.org - content mgmt. software for prints
I really like the speed and simplicity of the print catalogue; but where it fails, is finding what you need.
With more prints being uploaded since the introduction of various perks earlier, the content gets littered with prints that are very specific for individual use cases. Whilst more people creating stuff and sharing it is a very good thing, it gets harder to find the stuff that you're after.
There are only very general categories, and the search engine is very basic: not possible to search with an AND condition, and no features to specify the result.
How could the print navigation or search be improved to find what you need quickly?

I have similar problems with the search in printables.com
How can i search in a category for "bikes" ?
If i enter bikes in the seach it if for all categorys.
Also how can is select only models without support?
Or only models for FDM printers?
I can filter for the license or for the release date. But not, if it needs support ?!?!? Or the content of the model?
Perhaps i miss something.
PS: myminifactory.com can search for support less models and for the name and the type.

Now there is an improvement:

I guess that will ease the search signifcantly.

Thanks, I took a screen shot of that in the event I can't find it when I need it.
If it works as described, it should help quite a bit in ignoring the weeds in the garden.
LOL, this assumes that people use more or less standard terminology and spelling.

What does not work yet is a combination of the rules; ie.
anderson 'plug connector'
which would be
anderson AND plug OR connector
Both return no results even though there should be a couple.
