-Search improvements are a very good thing.  Bad search is a problem on just about every mom-and-pop 3D repository out there, from DAZ3D to Thingiverse, so any and all improvements are much welcome.

-Unfortunately the search improvements seem to have come at the expense of the entire rest of the site.  Suppose I need hair for Dawn, it used to be possible to pull up a all Dawn-based hair items for by navigating through categories, and then filter by models/textures/styles/etc. but now it's all been dumped in a generic "hair" category regardless of what figure(s) it's for or what kind of item it is.

-"Essentials" is a lame and overly generic tag that gives no indication as to what the item actually is.  While it would be nice if artists included good descriptive titles and thumbnails for everything so you can tell from the name and picture that it's a prop, or texture or whatever, the reality is that it doesn't work this way and in most cases a Poser smart prop shows up the same as a V4 hair or Gen2 character morph.

-There needs to be a classic/compatibility mode and/or a LOT of rework for lower resolutions.  Not all of us browse fullscreen on a >=1080p display and at 1200 pixels or less width the styling is a complete disaster.  Two items per row, filters take up a full 1-2 pages of screen space before hitting results, colossal text almost as large as the old thumbnails, etc.

 

I understand where you're going with the site redesign, colors schemes work well and I'm sure it looks great on the 4K panel you guys must have used to smoke test.  But the site is basically unusable for everyone else.  The last two points in particular conspire to make it impossible to find anything at all, since category browsing is unusable and sale/vendor lists no longer have meaningful filters.
