ThemeForest is one of the largest marketplaces, but I have been after a good grid theme to buy for months now! the reason is theme authors simply tag-spam with whatever comes to their mind.
The search functions in ThemeForest are too basic to start with, with tag-spamming it becomes a tormenting experience to search for the right theme.
Yep, ThemeForest search sucks, especially when you are looking for niche themes. Reviewers should keep an eye closely to item tags and item title should have more significance in search results.
And description should play a small role too
- Exclusive Author
- Item was Featured
- Author was Featured
- Author had a File in an Envato Bundle
- Has been a member for 4-5 years
- Sold between 100 000 and 250 000 dollars
- Repeatedly Helped protect Envato Marketplaces against copyright violations
- India
Probably Envato’s answer:

- Author was Featured
- Mongolia
- Has been a member for 2-3 years
- Exclusive Author
- Sold between 100 000 and 250 000 dollars
- Most Wanted Bounty Winner
- Referred between 50 and 99 users
- Bought between 50 and 99 items
Search needs a some experience for result like following
First Title – files should be included their titles exactly what i’m searching
Second Category + Tags – Second files would be with in searched
Then Item description – Item description should has less roles for above 2.
