This is Proposal #1903 in Feature Voting. I'm doing this sort of backward, but you can still go and vote for it. See the details below. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like these features added.

Add some new functionality to search/places.
1. Add a button to "Browse by Category" that does not require a keyword, so someone could see everything in a category, like newcomer friendly, education, hangout, or parks/nature, etc.
2. Add categories to Popular Places so you can search for the most popular places in a category. Currently popular places are just casinos or sex places mostly and new residents are missing out on some of the wonderful places in SL because they just go to popular places tab and think that's all SL has to offer. (Just because a place does not have huge traffic does not mean it is not or could not be a popular place if given a chance)
3. Add the ability to landmark from the search engine. This would probably also be helpful on the land sales tab, so that you could LM places you want to see and then close search instead of having to keep searching again and again.

Great ideas including the browse by category options. If I want to find shopping or a mall, I would want to select that instead of going through a huge list from a search. Yes adding bookmarks on a search will be a plus.
