Not claiming sole credit but I emailed them about that and a few other things, and they have been very responsive. Got into a conversation with a couple of their devs and they genuinely seem to be trying to fix my concerns.
Key issue for them is that 'Find' is a very old page written in old code or whatever that they will struggle to support for much longer so they will have to replace it, but they will keep it as long as they can and are trying to get as many of the features that people value into 'Explore'
The other issues I told them about were only 10 results per screen, not displaying total number of results (they say they can't do that because ^), lightbox obscuring the routes when you select one, and probably a few others too, mostly related to the ability to find stuff quickly.
Fundamentally I am sure that they are listening and want to fix it but I suspect 'Explore' is a fundamentally flawed design so, however much lipstick they can slap on, it will never quite match the functionality of 'Find'.
Looks like there's a "Sort By" on the RWGPS Explore list now.
