The classifier filter selector panel on /search could probably be improved.
I'm not sure exactly how to improve this, but perhaps a nearly full-width "pop-up" selector screen would be better --- the selector lists seem too long to fit well in any way to the left-hand panel.
The display indicators warehouse currently has for the "currently active" filters are good, so perhaps it's possible to make the "Add filter" selection more dialog-like. The mobile/narrow-screen interface goes a bit to that direction, but it doesn't make full use of the horizontal space available for pop-up dialogs.
For comparison, the old pypi screen makes more efficient use of horizontal space, and indicates sub-categories with large headings. However, the categories don't work together with search in the old pypi like they do in warehouse.
