Lichess Database has potential

Hello fellow chess players ! If you are enough experimented with the game, you might know about Chessbase. For those who don't know what it is, it is a database with millions and millions of registered chess games. It strongly helps for training, as it can have brillant chess examples for openings, endgames, preparation, ... Therefore, Lichess also has a free datable ! My point is that Lichess could further develop his database. They don't necessarily have to add more games. For example, I was thinking about a research bar for searching games for a certain player. Like that, you type a player that you appreciate, such as "Magnus Carlsen", and you can analyse his fascinating endgames techniques. Other research features can be a good looking idea to me. Thus, improving this feature can make Lichess an amazing tool for serious training. Thank you ! By the way, I accidentally started this post in "General Chess discussion", so I copied pasted to "Lichess Feedback", sorry.
