Seekers and avoiders need opposite filters

A filter that only removes things assumes everyone is avoiding. Plenty of people are looking for a quality rather than away from it.

So every descriptor filter has two modes. In avoider mode the slider sets a maximum: scented at most 1. In seeker mode it sets a minimum: fuzzy at least 8. The same control, pointed in the opposite direction, and the framing on the page is personal rather than technical.

Filters combine with AND, so you can ask for the softest blanket that also has no smell, and get an honest answer or an honest empty result.
