Sometimes what I’m interested in may be more specific or niche, but a lot of search engines and filtering systems don’t seem to provide a way to drill down to those results. What may be some reasons behind that?

Or am I overlooking some obvious ways to search/filter this way?

    Because advertising and engagement. A lot of things like Facebook, Twitter and Google don’t want to have an optimal search result because it’s more profitable to them if you mouse over a few ads before you find what you’re looking for (in theory).
