Help me build a better search engine ! (Patreon)

Since the last poll, I have explored different options to improve the Moulinette search engine. I found an architecture and affordable technologies that would greatly improve the search, by allowing filtering on categories. However, with now over 1000 users, 100,000 assets (among 17 creators), I can no longer rely solely on my user experience as a GM.I'm looking for volunteers who would like to participate by :

Giving constructive feedback

Asking  relevant questions

Suggesting filters (categories)

Describing the process you use to build your scenes

Testing early-releases

By participating, you will be able to influence the development so that it best meets your needs. You will also have access to early-versions (even before $5+ supporters). I created a new Discord channel (#suggestions-search-v2) specifically for discussing these topics. Everyone is also welcome to comment this post. Let me know what do you think about this initiative!

The screenshot attached to this post is the very first prototype. The goal is to get inspiration from the search engines of online stores for which you can search and then filter results until you find the best fit.

Super ! UX is what moulinette is all about - count me in !

The biggest problem I see with all this is the Patreon Wall. Everyone wants you to buy their cup of coffee but the problem is that I can't afford to subscribe to every patreon page. What foundry really needs in my opinion is a Moulinette platform that acts as a marketplace where you can go and search for anything you need but buy it as you go. That way I'm not just seeing or being able to buy what I support on patreon. This Patreon wall is very limiting and frustrating at the same time because I feel there are a lot of creators out there doing great stuff, but I can't support 20 $20 a mnth subscriptions so I'm very limited to like 2 or 3 creators.

That sounds like a great idea. Like Shane I can only limit my subscriptions to a few or I'll have to get another job to support it. LOL.. Thanks

2026-09-05 17:00 The music search is what I've used Moulinette for the most. Something which might be super useful for audio search is to encourage creators to embed tags or descriptions with some open standard (e.g. id3 for mp3 files) that can then be used to search or filter within moulinette.

I love this idea. my biggest request (I will be looking for that discord channel) unless I missed the addition of another module would be a tab for tokens?
