Option to search only within purchased and free content

Like many others, I find the art library search function extremely unreliable. Indescriminate partial word matching and poor result ordering mean that you frequently get completely irrelevant matches for search terms when you *know* there are much better matches available. This is especially frustrating when the content you are looking for is stuff that you have paid for, are entitled to as part of your subscription, or is part of a free token set, but is drowned out by dozens of irrelevant premium content matches. I imagine that fixing the search ordering to please everyone would be challenging (I've worked on search engine scoring before and it's *hard*), but one relatively easy fix would be to put results for marketplace content that is available to you without paying in a separate section of the results, along with art library and web results. That way you can at least be sure that you've seen what's available to you without paying before you move on to deciding if you want to pay for new premium content. It seems really unfair to people who have paid for premium content (either directly or through their subscription) that there is often no reliable way of searching through it!
Though I don't have any votes remaining, I know I would appreciate it if I had the option to checkbox the following options: o Premium Content o Purchased Content o Uploaded Content o Free Content The reason for having them be checkboxed, is sometimes I just want to look at purchased content, other times I just want to look for uploaded. I think it would be nice if you could control what content is revealed.
