Any chance you’ll be adding a category for dark themes?

Great to see this kind of specificity in searching.

I’d really like to be able to filter (or search) by the following other fields that extensions have:

* those which are or are not site-specific add-ons (this is the most important to me, as I basically never want to use a site-specific one)
* those which (do not) require external software
* those for which source files can be viewed online
* those which are pre-releases or not
* those which contain binary components

About that search capability. The search engine of the addons site is just terrible lately. It frequently, if not normally, fails to find the requested addon or buries it at the end of several pages of irrelevant items. It did not used to be this way. What changed and why?

Searching via Google, an accurate “hit” is immediate.

The search capability very badly needs improvement and soon.

@wladimir: We have some ideas on changing the default order and creating a new popularity sort that we’d like to explore. Will be asking for community input shortly.

@h: It’s coming soon. Patience. Thanks.

How come there is still no way to upload search plugins?

I have mixed feelings about that update. Some changes are great (theme browser, developer tools changes), others are definitely a step backwards. Default sort order for themes is theme name – I thought we noticed long ago that sorting by name (at least by default) wasn’t a good idea? User reviews aren’t pre-moderated any more – I guess I have to expect lots of trash reviews, and it will be my responsibility again to track them down (not to mention that, as an add-on author, you can manipulate the average rating by flagging only the trash reviews that have a bad rating). Yes, I understand that pre-moderation is dragging on AMO’s resources but… Search – filed bug 439227 for an issue that was solved long ago.
