Browsing and Searching

Search for gear on the Shop page. Use categories, filters, and dropdown menus to refine results. Search bars behave differently depending on which section of the site you’re in.

Search bar on Shop (gear only)
The main search bar at the top of the Shop page searches for gear only—type in any brand, model, or keyword and press Enter.

Search dropdown: suggestions, recent terms, and categories
Clicking the search bar opens a dropdown with your recent searches and gear categories you can browse directly (Digital Camera, Film Camera, Lenses, etc).
Picture: Search dropdown with category tiles and “Recent searches” circled in red.


Category tabs
At the top of the Shop page are quick-access tabs for top-level categories:
Digital Cameras, Film Cameras, Lenses, Video Cameras, Accessories
Clicking these takes you straight to that section.

Filters (after search or category click)
Once you search or enter a category, filters appear. You can narrow down by:

  • Category

  • Brand

  • Condition

  • Price Range
    These open in a side drawer. When ready, click Show Results.
    Picture: Filter drawer open with “Show Results” button circled in red.
