When choosing printer driver there is no search bar or tree-list view to filter & expand model types?

Otherwise I have to find my printer EPSON XP-800 Series in a list of about 200+ not knowing the exact name in the linux side of things?

So to save people the hassle, why not have a search bar be implemented? or bundle up per type of model in each category in a tree-view fashion?

**UPDATE**
I had to find my drivers manually from manufacturer website (*.deb), installed it, and it was added towards the bottom of the list (non-alphabetical this time).

But, there still should be a filter search bar implemented.
