Search and Discovery

Patcher is built to help you find things quickly across both the public library and your own workspace.

Public discovery

Discovery usually starts with Modules, then expands into related public racks and patches.

This is useful when you want to:

  • compare modules before buying

  • see how other people are using a module

  • move from a single piece of gear into usable context

Inside User Area, one search query filters your modules, racks, patches, manuals, and comments at the same time.

That matters once your workspace holds enough material that scrolling stops being efficient.

This is not a single combined cross-entity search result page. Each section keeps its own results while reusing the same query.

User Area itself requires a signed-in account.

Discovery surfaces that matter

Patcher currently supports discovery through:

  • module search and browsing

  • related public racks and patches from module pages

  • public rack browsing

  • public patch browsing

  • public profiles

  • global search inside your user area

Best way to use it

  1. Start broad in the public catalogue.

  2. Save the modules that matter to your collection.

  3. Use User Area search once your own workspace grows.

  4. Follow related public examples when you need context, ideas, or comparisons.
