How does one discover high quality parameterized models on OnShape?

Lets use the example of spur gear design.   I know I've seen a really high quality model in the past, I think it was developed by an OnShape employee.   But I use OnShape only infrequently, and can't find it right now.

Is there a way of searching for such high-quality examples?

Note: I found the feature I originally recalled, FeatureScript Spur Gear, Official V3.   My question is not about that specific case, but the discoverability of such tools.

Currently, there is not a great way to find custom features or models other than random forum posts. Onshape is working on a solution that will make features more discoverable. I'm not sure what it will be, but I'm excited to see what they come up with.

I usually find features by searching with the "Add custom features" tool or by going to the feature section of the forums.
Some of the featurescripters will include their last name in their feature so that you can see all of the features they have created. You can also visit the community spotlight to see some of the most popular features.

I find I usually have to know pretty clearly what I'm trying to do so I can make a precise search for a tool.  No great browsing abilities it seems but glad to hear they are working on it @MichaelPascoe.
