Remove the category filter in product query page

[monsieurtanuki]

Problem

On top right of the product query page, there's a filter button.
This filter opens the list of the current page product's categories, and let the user decide which category to restrict the visible products to.

My complaints:

• I suspect it was just a "what if?" test
• The interface hasn't changed from the very start and the UX stinks
• I don't think it's in Figma
• I don't think it's used by "real" users
• this slows down the display of the product pages (as we need to parse all products first, in order to know all the categories to put in the filter)
• I want to put a "country" or "world" icon on the same spot

Proposed solutions

• Remove that filter if it's not used
• Put stats on the use of that filter to checked how and if it is used
• Load the filter async'ly

Screenshot

Then I click on "Filter" on top right

Then I click on "All" and its expand button

Then I select a category

Then I click on "Apply"

It solves extend to world, it solves category filtering, and much more

I take that as a "get rid of the filter" order, and I thank you for that.

I keep working on the "world search" because I'm almost done and the use case is a bit different, as it deals with the "Come on, everybody knows what a 'rårörda lingon' is! Let's try the world instead of that ignorant country" case.

That's a game changer: the (cached) results are now instant.
