Is there some secret to finding art on DeviantArt that I just don't understand?

I've tried the search engine at the top (couldn't find any "advanced" search option), but all it does is let you search titles. Not even author names. And the categories never get any narrower than "fanart" or "anime" or "wallpaper". You can't browse categories that don't go any narrower than 10,000 images to choose from.

What if I want Naruto fanart? What about Furuba fanart? How am I supposed to FIND any of this shit if it's all searchable under titles-- it'd have to have exactly what I'm looking for in the title name.

The only way I ever come across anything at that frustrating site is if someone points me directly to the specific page. And if I lost the link, god help me if I ever want to find it again.

ARGH.

I just wish there was some easy, comprehensible way to browse that site. If anyone's got a suggestion, let me know. I'd visit a lot more if I knew how to navigate the fucking place.

I usually browse it by looking through people's favorites. Like...once I find an artist I like, I look through his/her gallery and then his/her favorites, and then when I find a picture (or pictures) that I like there, I look through THOSE artists galleries and favorites and so on.
