This is mostly aimed at the custom decor list but can also be applied to pretty much every other search function on the site.

I was trying to find some decor to put on my Tigon today, and after realizing that there's no way to search for only Tigon compatible decor, custom or site, I realized this was going to be a huge pain in my ass!

There is currently no way to search for any decor on the site based on which mutation they are compatible with. When looking through the custom decor list in particular the only way to search is by Age, Gender, Mane type, or Name. Now you can type what you want into the search bar but unless the person who uploaded it to the site put the name of the mutation in the title (which, most of them didn't) it's not going to show up in the search. For example when I searched "Gon" or "Tigon" stuff does come up, but it also misses a large number of decors that are compatible with Tigons because the uploader didn't put Tigon in the name.

Currently the only way to search in the Trade Center for items is by it's name, which is all good if you've found a decor that fits your Tigon already and want to buy one. But even that would be pain staking, especially when the only real master list of decor on the site is in the Monkey Shop, and those don't list if they're mutation friendly. I think that needs to change.

Maybe only one change needs to be made, maybe allow the Item Catalogue in the monkey shop be updated to allow us to search items based on mutation compatibility. Because it includes all items on the site, custom and site made.

Or just update the Custom Decor list to have a "mutation" option in the search.

This would make it so much easier for users who have mutated lions they want to add decor to.

EDIT: After some discussion may need to update the field in the custom decor for when uploading the art -- there is already a field there for versions available that the person uploading has to tick off, possibly add a spot to select which mutation version and then allow us to search for "(mutation name here) versions available">.

I would like to point out that Im not arguing or starting a debate - merely trying to explain you how the site decor works, as your current suggestion doesnt fully account to the system because you dont fully understand how it works. Admins will not consider suggestions like that - BUT if you understand the system properly and try to figure out a suggestion that works properly with it, then it will have a chance to be considered!
