Search displays all photos

The new search function adds a lot of great features but it pulls all of the individual photos the meet the search criteria. I preferred the old way when it only pulled a boot entry and then you clicked on it to see all the photos that were submitted. The individual photos that are pulled up now can be overwhelming and you don't see the variation of the individual boots.

Hey proof.in.whisky,
Thank you for posting your feedback. I've gotten a lot of similar sentiments from folks, and we're actively working on making Search 2.0 better.
The problem we were trying to solve with the new search was to start surfacing more of the best photos for each pair. The old version only showed the latest photo, so a lot of awesome pairs were missed unless you took the time to go in-and-out of each album.
This morning's changes should have increased the variety in the photo results, as well as highlight the most popular ones. Would you mind sharing some example searches so that I can take a look and use them to benchmark more tweaks we are doing?
We have also added the
Items
filter, which will only show individual boots, similar to the original search tool. It is intended to help you find a specific pair, and get a clear idea of the maker/model/leather before opening the album. Please let me know your reactions to using this filter.Best,
