Better Template Search Feature
Under consideration
At the moment, you have to select a design type and then you get a horizontal scroll bar with about 7 design and you have to keep on clicking the right arrow button (which is not even visible in Firefox) to see more designs. That's no joy. I would like to see a full screen with all the available designs, just like with Canva.
I also would like to have a generic search feature (like in Canva) where I can type something like 'Christmas', which then gives me all designs, regardless of type, with a Christmas theme. Some extra filters for size/aspect ratio, color etc. would be cool too. The lack of this made me switch back to Canva.

Update to my original post. I was just searching again and found 3 different types of searches that make it really confusing.
1) if you are on the dashboard, there is a 'Browse templates' option in the left menu, you have to select a design format and then you get this scroll bar I described in my original post.
2) if you are on the dashboard, click the 'templates' option in the top menu followed by a design format (like Facebook post). You then go to the editor and you see a list of all designs for that format grouped by type or tag (like 'food and drinks)'. There is even a search feature at the top. That's already a much better experience!
3) if you are on the dashboard, click the [Create Design] button in the top right corner. The free form 'Search Design Format' field is unclear. I tried 'food' and 'christmas' and it didn't find anything. It took me a while to understand that a design format is used for things like a 'post' (for facebook, instagram) or 'ad' (for facebook, instagram, banner). I thing it would be better to have a predefined drop down there. Having the 'size' entry in that search area isn't logical because it isn't used for searching a design format.
So these are 3 completely different search options to find just a design format (but still no actual design). This makes it confusing for the user and takes you extra time to develop and maintain the software. Why not simplify this into a single unified search feature where you can find actual designs.
1) search field for a keyword (like Christmas, concert, menu, holiday, etc)
2) select field to limit the results to a format (like ad, post, banner, logo)
3) select field to limit the results to a category (like facebook, instagram, marketing)
4) then show all available designs based on these selection criteria
PS: remove the AI thing that rewrites my input. It results in bad input without any formatting
