Hello there!

Could we maybe start giving Legs a bit more descriptive names?
Items like:
 
Part No: 970c00pb0092 Name: Hips and Legs with SW Luminara Unduli Pattern
* 		970c00pb0092 Hips and Legs with SW Luminara Unduli Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated {Black}
 
Part No: 970c00pb0284 Name: Hips and Legs with SW Imperial Pattern
* 		970c00pb0284 Hips and Legs with SW Imperial Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Decorated {Black}
are a bit hard to find for people who haven't memorized the whole catalog
of Star Wars Characters and Uniforms.


Thanks you for your consideration.

It often happens with highly specialised designs and it can be a problem if you
have to know what you have to be able to search for it. But how would you describe
these parts to make them searchable? There will be a lot of parts with a description
like "with dark bluish grey lines".

I find Google lens is now quicker and more reliable than searching by words.

And brickognize is even faster and more reliable, tho if you don’t have the part
on hand and printing to find it then it can be difficult

These days, almost everything gets a very descriptive name, but that was not
always the case. Having said that, everyone is free to submit name change requests
on anything that they find lacking in description, and that has always been the
case.
