Search assets?

Is there a way to search in, for example, the assets category on itch.io, instead of just landing on the game searches for published games?

I tried shopping for sound effects in assets earlier, and don't have time to flip through all the pages and pages of mostly free stuff.  (Great work artists for offering such things by the way!  It's a nice problem to have!)

If there is any way to search in a category, I didn't find it intuitively in the website interface.  Might want to look into that to promote sales and finding other stuff besides games.  I know this is primarily a game site, but we creators need to be able to connect with art/sound/code asset makers too!

You can currently browse by game assets, but you can't search by them. Our search screen is a little underdeveloped, so we'd like to revamp it in the near future.

I look forward to better search features in the future then!  Thanks!  Helping people find cool stuff can only make this great site get even better.

I too would like to be able to search in specific categories like assets instead of the current way.

Just figured I'd ask how near that future is and if there's anything I can do to help, keyword searches combined with the filters would be really great for a lot of the creators I found out about through happenstance. :)
