P: Better Preset Organization (sub-folders, tag, search)

I'd love a better way to organize brushes, shapes, and styles. Perhaps a way to tag them, then search or sort by tag.

Over here the search pop up does not show brush categories or names, nor open them in brush panel. it seems it can't access them. It only finds basic tools, brush, pencil etc, or filters.
Typing palette knife will only show the filter and no brush or tool preset with that name.
In contrast Corel Painter's search bar will show brush variants.

Hello, it would be great to group selected brushes. A search function for the Brushes would also be helpful.

The new organization update for Brush Panel in 2018 is great, love it. Now I find myself keeping more and more brushes in my set, making it harder and harder to find the brush I want. If there was a search bar it would make workflow smoother.

Does Photoshop have a search function for all the brushes I have? as more brushes are added to Photoshop, it's a nightmare to find the brushes I want.

and navigation through folder and presets using the arrow keys
would speed up the workflow too. 

Please consider this too and tons of speed for LR.

I've been waiting/ hoping for subfolders for presets for a very long time.It would be also nice to have better organization for camera profiles aw well. I'd love to have subfolders e.g.: Year> Jobnumber> Camera Profiles
Pretty much the same with presets.
This would help a lot and tons of speed for LR please.

The ability of syncing between two machines would help too. 

Cheers, Dan

Man its been 6 years and they still havent added subfolders to the tool preset menu. Seems like such a simple solution given what the program can do. I have drawing tools, texture tools and painting tools that are all in a mish mash main folder. What I wouldnt give to be able to hide the ones i'm not using while the other ones are open without loading a whole different set as I flip back and forth between drawing and painting tools quite often.   http://www.mememaker.net/static/images/memes/4590406.jpg
