Please change the published search terms system (search terms published as part of an asset's preview)... 

While I understand that this can help a customer, it seems an equal boon to the lazy vendors who simply and blindly copy and paste terms from related assets by other artists.  And I've personally run into this before, including one keeping my name in their terms.

Something that I think would be more beneficial to both the client and the good vendors (who use proper/related terms) would be similar to the Recommended Products system already in use...  Why not simply show the top 5 or 10 terms that seem to be related to the customer's search...

Somebody searching for 'dog' might be offered terms such as:

puppy, canine, wolf, animal, paw, etc... to continue their searches...

I think this will make more sense and will, to some extent, force the lazy 'artists' to do their own work/research... they should know about the subject matter they modeled... If they indeed modeled the asset.
