First time user's observations

Having used autotempest, I enjoy hearing about sites new to me that are a search engine with depth. PCPartPicker would be another one that comes to mind, but for computer components. With that said, some notes:

- A given filter's title (e.g. condition) can be clicked on, but it doesn't do anything. I suppose only filters with "see more" allow for the exclusion mode, so eh.

- Multiple fuel types can't be selected, either in the inclusion nor the exclusion mode. So, I can't do gas only+hybrid.

- The vehicle types could use a tooltip (i) or something a la caranddriver to define each type. Personally I don't know how/if you'd differentiate a SUV from a CUV or you'd just call it a crossover.

- Likewise there's nothing explaining what "plus" refers to.

- As a more general thing vehicle size or subcompact, compact, etc. would be a nice filter to have. The same could be applied to truck(s)/cargo volume, or even get techy with adjustable slider ranges for various measurements (e.g. length, width, wheelbase), but that's not a well fleshed out idea.

For the specific color filter of interior colors, as a separate filter, there could be one for material choices (e.g. leather, leatherette, cloth),which would more easily narrow down the color search.

- Mpg is on the roadmap, so nothing more to say there.

- When selecting multiple filter options, a "reset filters" would be useful.

- Could be more of an account only feature if it isn't already, but the allowance to rearrange the filter menus (e.g. if I wanted # of doors near vehicle type rather than at the bottom). Or a sidebar menu of what filter menus to list in the first place. So if I didn't want "dealer type" taking up space, I could just remove it from being shown.

- Keywords could use more options or is a jumping off point for determining/testing new filters.

- There's no way to get back to visor.vin from visor.featurebase.app (Visor at the top can be clicked but doesn't do anything when not signed in).

- Are favorited searches an account only feature? if so that should be mentioned not only under account sign up, but also a grayed out icon for the logged out experience with a tooltip letting people know to make an account to use it. Actually maybe I'm just blind, I don't see an option anywhere to save a search.

- Just a nitpick, but the vignette at the top of the homepage is rather large and it overlaying the truck banner is a weird vibe. A black bar up top, or a less cropped image would be a little better.

- Another nitpick for the sorting on listings, maybe have a A-Z/Z-A, sorted by manufacturer, or a sorted by high-low model year.

    @FencerTJ First of all, WOW! Thank you for all of this feedback. It’s clear you have an attention to detail, which we really appreciate.

    • I’ve just made some tweaks to address some of the small nitpicks you referred to (vignette, filter title clicking).

    • I genuinely did not realize that you could not select multiple fuel types (did not have this under my list of test cases), so that will be fixed ASAP.

    • RE: resetting filters; have you seen the “Clear All” button near the header?

    • Both favorites and saved searches are account-only features. So far we’ve had two “modes” of searching: either focused on a make/model, or “seeing everything at once”. Currently saved searches are available on make/model searches, but not the latter search mode. Craig and I are actively working on merging these two modes to make it less confusing.

    • Craig and I also actively working on embedding the feedback portal into the main site. Funny, we’ve received multiple reports about how confusing this is just this week.

    Thanks again for your feedback, and keep it coming if there’s anything else you think of. Are there any net new features or insights you’d like to see on Visor?
