We have some major updates that should address most of these concerns. The biggest problem with the old site was that it was 20th century technology with 20th century security. The new site has a lot more security, capability, options for multiple pictures, short descriptions that are not view-able but are searchable (we're also accounting for misspellings) and the like - the unfortunate problem is that we're trying to take 12 years of updates and add them as soon as we can. The finished product we're pretty sure is going to be a lot better than what we had, but in the meantime there are some gaps.
The search function is the way that I search for anything on there, for what it's worth.
I thought of perhaps doing away with a drill down and only searching by keyword but in the end we kept the capability to browse. I can see why having a drill down/browse function is helpful for those that want to peruse, the frustrating thing for me is that if it's not found that way then it's automatically assumed that we just don't carry it. *sigh*
We're working on it, stay patient guys!
