Marketplace - Filter on Free Assets?

Not that I won't ever spend money in the marketplace, but for now I'm new and it seems early to invest (signed up last year, just playing in my first campaign). However, I'd like to start dreaming up campaigns, so it seemed reasonable to me to perhaps only work with gratis items for the time being. I didn't see a really good way to find free sets... searching on the keyword "free" has mixed results. (Shout out to Devin Night for offering so many free assets, BTW.) Another for instance: I recall hearing about the Crow's Rest Island module when it was released, but I think that's only because there was a promotional e-mail from Roll20 about it. If, as an uninformed user, I had ended up on the modules page at <a href="https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/modules" rel="nofollow">https://marketplace.roll20.net/browse/modules</a> , there's nothing to indicate to me that that particular module is free unless I clicked through to its page. So if anyone knows how to easily find all free assets -- I'd appreciate hearing back.

For finding free SETS, finding free Modules, or finding everything that's free in the Marketplace ---- I don't know. Good question. For finding free individual assets (like goblin tokens), those will come up in the Art Search tab for the GM. That art search will generate tons of free images not only from Marketplace but also from other websites. They don't come up as a set of downloads, but just as individual search results for whatever search term you enter. Often a couple of Paid Marketplace results will appear advertised at the top of the search result, next will be some Free assets from the Marketplace, and then a bunch of free images for use from other external websites. You can "Star" them in the Art tab as a way to start to collect the ones you like.
I'd like to see more than just a "free" filter. There's all sorts of other filters that might be useful for people. Size, date modified, and popularity would be equally good filters in my opinion.

I figured I'll save such comments for a post in the suggestions forum instead though =) Gold , thanks for the tip about using Art Search. I didn't know that was available because I simply hadn't clicked the Create New Campaign button yet (whoops). So I got ahead of myself there, I suppose -- shopping for assets before I even had the campaign to put them into, heh.

Size, date modified, and popularity would be equally good filters in my opinion. Oh yes, I was thinking about posting this. More filters would be good. As much as I appreciate a lot of the free art, many of it I cant/wont ever use because we use topdown view, and on top of that a certain style to fit. If we could filter out/in artist on the free stuff, that would save me a LOT of scrolling down past them all it seems to like to put all the ones I cant use as all the first results :P.
