  1. Perform a depiction search for "rock band"
  2. You see several pictures of Roxette and Bon Jovi
  3. Perform a depiction search for "band"
  4. Scroll until the end: Not a single picture of Roxette or Bon Jovi

I believe that step 4 is problematic.
Searching for "band" should show ALL bands, not just the bands that happen to not be in a more specific subclass yet.

OR the app could first show all sub-classes:

← band
rock band
punk band
pop band
Sharlene San Pedro and Monty Macalino in Paris
Jimmy Duvet & The Comforters performing in Sonoma
...

The first three rows are textual links that take you to a sub-search, while the following rows are images like what is visible right now.

@nicolas-raoul is this still valid?

@macgills While it would be useful and allow people to select more specific (and thus useful) depictions, it is a far-fetched wish, so feel free to not implement it, it can be a subsequent phase in a year or more when everyone is used to depictions.
