To change categories to the ones you want to see on the Home page, hit the drop down in the top left corner and you'll be able to cycle through the different categories of your choice.

The search button (green arrow) lets you search for Knotches already made. If your Knotch isn't in the list, you simply create a new one. You'll also be able to see a list of recently made Knotches.

Also, to add, you can switch between topic searching and user searching.
