I think the search engine for Rosity could use an update. It's great that we can target a certain group of items, say stuff for Victoria 4 and narrow that search down to just Hair with another link. But there are already pages of hair and within a few months to a year there will be probably twice as many. I think Rosity should add a feature that allows the customer to Search "Within" a certain catagory. Right now, I did a search for backgrounds. I went to the 2D catagory and selected the Photoshop layers and saw I had 20+ pages. So I did a search for backgrounds and Rosity then gave me everything from the whole Rosity site regarding backgrounds, 99% already created. So I tried Background resources, I get everything tied to the title of resources and my search goes from starting out small to huge instead of the other way around.
I should be able to go to 2D Accessories to brushes and then do a search within the brushes catagory for say "water" and Rosity should respond with all brushes dealing with water. Maybe break it up, first part of the page has the search coming back as "Items found within this catagory" and below that, "Items found within the whole site matching this search"
Granted, it's like a grocery store, there is a reason why you find rubber duckies that light up in the ceral isle, it promotes impulse purchases. So maybe that's why Rosity hasn't really changed it's search ability but it's kind of annoying for those who need something right away and have to surf through 15-20-30 pages of products to try and find what they're looking for.
For what it's worth, that's my 2 cents worth today :)
