3dmr already features the categories field in the upload page.>

The search filter already does include category and tag based search apart from the basic model name based search already accessible from the frontend.

• category: https://3dmr.eu/search?query=tower&category=building
• tag: https://3dmr.eu/search?query=tower&tag=building=yes

The issue is that the use case is not documented anywhere and there is no way a generic user would know of these filters by any means, except diving deep into the source code.
The only way to access the filters as of now is manually adding &category=xxxx into the URL.

What we need would be an explicit filter mechanism in the frontend, to enable users to use the filters without tinkering manually with the URL and a documentation on the search bar usage.
