How do we find useful feature scripts?

@Jake_Rosenfeld posted a very helpful article about adding FS at the end of this discussion
Jake or others - I have seen this question on forum before but I do not remember a good answer. I know FS is not intended long-term solutions to generally required functions. However, for now there is a lot of good stuff which we could be using. Knowing and organizing what is available is difficult. Besides getting a recommendation on the forum what tips & tools do you have for discovering and organizing Custom Features (aka Feature Script).

We have a good collection of about 50 high-quality ones here:
https://www.onshape.com/featurescript
You have to press "More +" under the FeatureScript Spotlight to see all of them.
That's definitely not an exhaustive list, there are tons of high quality Scripts out there that are not listed on that page. Maybe a good place to start is by scrolling through the FeatureScript section of this forum?

They say the cream rises to the top, so one way to find good feature scripts is to search the public section of Onshape and sort by the most links. The quality feature scripts docs are generally at the top of this list.

Great tip! That goes a long ways in finding FS. It is a little easier when the docs are named with 'Feature Script'. Amazing how many are written!
The search function seems to have a ways to go. Am I missing or can you do the following?
1) sort on the columns after filtering with a term in the search field (like 'feature')?
2) filter for documents that have FS?
3) I was trying to figure out how to group selected docs and realized Label is perfect. Select a number of docs and add label like 'Cool Feature Script'. Then can just filter by Label. However, can we filter for more than one Label at a time?
