The filter most useful to me would be one that excluded books by authors that have never been published by a major publisher, or by authors that have not had a book first published before a certain date (such as 1990). But I expect those would not be easy to implement, they would probably require data that the retailer doesn't have on hand. One that excuded all books by authors that did not have another book listed at the same retailer published by one of a user-specified list of publishers might be a workable alternative, provided I could save my list of publishers for future searches.

At the moment I find my best approach is not to use the retailers for discovery at all, but instead to use the publishers' websites and other resources to compile a wishlist of authors I am interested in reading and then to check the retailers for books by those authors.
