Description

This is a future feature request.
Now that we have Search, I'd like to add more metadata fields to Search by -

  • Experience level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
  • CS concepts (loops, variables, etc.)
  • Hardware components (audio/sound, servos, etc.)

Maybe we borrow something like the Extension filters...

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Home Page content and existing Search or Extension filter implementations, then determine how metadata is represented and indexed. Done would include agreed fields for experience, CS concepts, and hardware components, with those fields available as Search filters.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
