I just went to browse through magic items and had a frustrating experience. Since I own a portion of the content that is available, I found that many (more than half) of the items I clicked on were not available to me. That's totally fine, I haven't purchased that content and in some way I like seeing what all I could have access to if I purchased more.
However, I then went to the source filter expecting to be able to filter by content that I own, but that option is not present. I could in theory go through and multi-select every piece of content I have purchased, but that's 15 clicks (14 for sources + 1 to re-filter).
It would be a big quality of life improvement if there were an option in the search filters that were something along the lines of "only sources I own".
A different approach would be a "maintain source filters" from search to search.
There are likely other ways to accomplish the same QoL improvement as well, personally I'm open to any solution that accomplishes the goal.
I agree this would be a nice quality of life addition, even if it may not be an immediate need. Just today I went to search through 'goblins', and had more content pop up for things I don't own than things I do. It's mildly frustrating to have your screen be taken up by content you cant access over things that you can, more so if you're on a small screen or a tablet as you may misclick onto one of the unaccesable links trying to get to the ones you CAN access.
Adding this type of purchase filter would be useful in the Marketplace as well, especially as the content library grows. For instance, either pushing items already purchased down the list into an "owned" section, or hiding it entirely.
Filtering by purchased/owned definitely needs to be a thing.

Thank you for reading and consideration.
It doesn't affect me, but I'm going to second this anyway.
