hello, while trying to figure out some issues with searching, i realized something:
the 'any' (race) option under each gender is not for searching within any and all options within that gender, but rather to search for mod(s) that only apply to all races within that gender.

while i was talking to others, it turns out this is a very common misconception; especially since the mod creation window distinctly defines this as 'all' as opposed to the search window defining it as 'any'

(screenshots sent to me by a friend, as i haven't verified my account yet due to waiting for a space to upload presets lol)

the mod creation page, showing the flagging and tagging options. under race and gender, 'all' is the option for, well, all races within a specified gender.

the search window. 'zelda' is filled into the search. the various options for search are shown, including the same flagging and tagging (hidden) options you can set during mod creation. instead of 'all', the option for toggling all races under a specific gender is defined as 'any'.

as a result of this discovery, i wanted to request both that:
  1. the search page have the 'any' button corrected to 'all' to match the mod creation page and it's actual usage
  2. for an actual 'any' (race) option to be created at some point, so that folks (like me!) can search for anything within a specified gender without necessarily searching for a specific race like many of us thought 'any' was meant to be used.
i hope this is thorough enough to understand the issue, and thank you so much as always! we really appreciate all the hard work you do!
