Have the ability for people to use the search function to search for different genres of movies, for example, horror, action, love, romance etc.

I agree, please add the possibility from settings to add different directories for genres. Action movies downloaded to /movies/actions ...for example, and so on for each genre available. The end user will only choose the genre and the movie will be downloaded to the appropriate folder, instead of main movie folder /movies/
Plex has many libraries and lists, not sure why ombi only allows the selection of one download folder for all types of genres. Thank you.

Great way to allow people to browse without having a specific movie in mind.

2 great ideas - the suggestion should be "Search and Save by Genre" :)

1) Search by genre - Allow easy searching (either via drop down option next to the search box, etc.) AND when clicking on a genre in the descriptions to quickly list them.

2) Assign Location by Genre , for media placement location by genre - using the existing Root folder already imported into Ombi to allow admins to assign a genre category to auto-set the root folder for the request (rather than using the user manager). Once a genre is linked to a Root folder, it can no longer be assigned to another root folder to avoid conflicts.

This is good idea. Helps with sorting and getting to the information quickly and provides the administrator simplicity. Thanks for taking time to come up with this idea.

Awesome - The first part has already been implemented: https://i.ibb.co/jbmwwb7/image-2021-08-01-130403.png

The second "Search/Filter" by Genre has https://features.ombi.io/suggestions/115149 @200+ votes already?
