Summary0001945: Category Search -- Allow searching by MAX Criteria (not just MIN)
DescriptionCategory Search (show=genren) permits filtering by the following criteria:

Ignore
Exclude
MIN +, *, *+, **, **+, ***

Ignore is a default state no-op.

The MIN criteria ensure that a given category is present with at least the specified weight.

The Exclude criteria ensure that a given category is *NOT* present (ie, MAX 0); however, the other MAX filters are missing:

MAX +, *, *+, **, **+

Consequently, category searches are more generic then necessary, and it takes more time and bandwidth to isolate and identify those entries that match MAX criteria.
Additional InformationFeature Request:
Add MAX +, *, *+, **, **+ filters to Category Search.

Note *** is not listed as _is_ MAX, and would work very similarly (if not identically) to Ignore.
TagsNo tags attached.

this isn't making much sense either. why would anyone want to restrict the upper boundary of a search. that's like saying i only want some porn, but not all of it. the usage of that is limited at best

More like saying that one is willing to tolerate something, but only to an extent. For example, citing the sarcastic definition on the wiki:

Nudity MAX +: I don't object to ankles, but don't go further than that

The intended (and presumably typical) use case would be to refine a MIN query. For example:

MIN Comedy **+
MAX Nudity +

Funny comedies, limited to those without nudity beyond an ankle
