Is there a place with a better search of Steam's available games than Steam's built in search?
One that would give me better filtering options, filter out genres, search through specific release years, etc. The search function seems especially lacking when you are trying to search through a specific publisher's library.

If you haven't tried it yet, the Interactive Recommender might work better for you than the regular Steam Search: https://store.steampowered.com/recommender/

I suggested a regional filter, people got all uppity, thought it was a race thing.

Steam has sales for publishers from certain countries, why not less us filter to see games from that country? For example, Toplitz Productions is Austro-German, so maybe someone will want to look up other Austrian or German devs to see if there's other things from that region you might like that you weren't aware of before, which is the whole point of those "Czech Dev Sale" or "Polish Dev Sale", to spotlight those regions that are going through their own gaming Golden Age.

Areas that you don't want to see games from can be included as a feature as well, and it doesn't have to be a racial thing like people knee jerk it as.

- Let's say your nation, for arguments sake only I'll use my own nation, Canada, has sanctions that bar Canadians from purchasing anything from Mongolia (Mongolia is a lovely nation, which is why I picked it, no one has an issue with them), so you filter out any Mongolian games simply to stay in compliance with your regional laws, as you can't expect Steam, US based, to edit their platform for every regions individual political situations.
- I would suspect some Ukrainians may not be keen on anything from a Russian or Russian supporting dev at the moment, and for good reason. Not wanting to send money into the nation invading you is a good reason to have an exclusion filter.
- Sadly, most of the pornographic games come from the same region, so filtering or straight up removing those from Steam would be great. I personally feel pornographic games don't belong on any platform that allows children who know how to easily navigate around age gates. For North America, M should be the highest allowed rating, an a separate Steam owned platform for higher rated games that requires govt ID should be created.
