Description
Problem statement
In the Flask-based version of the tool, we had a section that allowed users to filter by specific point-release distributions. For instance, if you search for "RHEL", when the results came back you could specify which RHEL versions you wanted. Based on feedback from users, this was used a lot, since sometimes they only wanted to search RHEL 10.x, for instance, rather than RHEL 8.
Screenshot of how this was implemented:
Proposed solution
Include something similar in our new React-based UI.
Please start with a mock-up before writing any code so we can run this by our users.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing React-based UI and the provided screenshot to understand where a distribution filter section would fit. Create a mock-up of filtering search results by point-release distributions, such as RHEL 10.x versus RHEL 8, and get user feedback on it before implementation.
