Idea to add filter on searching for products by country #10467

Currently there is no way to filter out products based on a specific country, only on going through the product we can know the country where it is sold. On searching a product, results from multiple countries might not be relevant.

It will be easier if products that have been uploaded with a particular country. This way the people of some particular country can quickly find their own country and determine what is missing from the database or what improvements can be made.

Add a simple filter that sorts products by country
