For many times i have been searching for this part:
99021 Pneumatic hose connector with bush,
and did'nt find this in the technic department.

The "technic" category is a bit cloudy with 254 part listings.

I would like to suggest a few category changes:


Re-name and -categorize;
3713 Technic Bush
to; 3713 Technic Bush 1L;
4265c Technic Bush 1/2 Smooth
to; 4265c Technic Bush 0,5L, Smooth
4265c, 4265a, 4265b, 45799, x1299, x148, 424 into
New Category; "Technic, Bush"


Re-name and -categorize;
2852, 2853, 2854, 2850, 2850b, 2850a, 2851, 3652 into
New Category; "Technic, Engine"


Re-name and -categorize;
6539, 6539, 2473, 18947, 32187, 35186, 35186pb01, 32167, 2426c01, 32170 into
Sub-Category; "Technic, Engine, Gear"


Re-name and -categorize;
46453, 46453c01, 46453pb01L, 46453pb01R, 46453pb02, 46452, 46454, 30535, 43121,
43121c04, 43121c02 (Inv), 43121c01 (Inv), 43121c03 (Inv), x577, 4868a, 4868ac01
(Inv), 4868b, 4868bc01 (Inv), 4868bc02 (Inv), 4869, 3475, 3475b, 98302, 3475a,
30358, 4229, 53983pb02, 53983pb01, into
Sub-Category; "Technic, Engine, Cosmetic".


Re-name and -categorize;
49828, 46455, 46456 into
Sub-Category; "Technic, Engine, Exhaust"


Re-name and -categorize;
2908, 32072, 5405 into
"Aircraft"


Re-name and -categorize;
2950, 24120, 18943, 28216, 4700, 2951, 2814, 32030, 46891, 15265, 88289, 30275
into
New Category; "Bucket";
and New Category; "Bucket, Decorated";


Re-name and -categorize;
32310, 32310pb06, 32310pb07, 32310pb01, 32310pb05,32310pb03, 32310pb02, 32310pb04,
32310pb08, 32165, 32173 into
"Bionicle"


Also a new category: "Technic, Decorated" for all the stickered and color
printed parts which make the other category's a bit overcrowded. This would
be in line with all the other decorated categories like; "Brick, Decorated",
"Plate, Decorated" etc.


Remove Category "Technic, Plate"
and merge whole category into "Plate, Modified" with 13 parts.

Remove Category "Technic, Link".
Re-name and -categorize;
30397, 2739, 2739b, 2739a, 32293 to "Technic, Ball Joint",
3711, 3249, 69900, bb0076, 3873, 69910, 57518 to "Technc, Gear",
14149, 24375 to "Technic, Pin",
64451, 4586, 6247, 2637 to "Liftarm".

Category "Plate, Modified" could move out the angular extension parts
to "Wedge, Plate, Decorated" or to "Plate, Modified, Decorated".

I was completely onboard with your suggestion until you mentioned getting rid
of the technic, plate category. I don't agree with your last 3 suggestions,
but I think all the other suggestions are great.

Technic is the 1 category where I can overlook a part 3 or 4 times before giving
up and going to another resource to id it. I've tried to come up with ways
to mentally break down the group, but the sheer number of items crammed together
and then cluttered up with decorated parts just makes it a jumbled confusion.

Just my 2 cents.
