Is there a browseable catalogue of it available or is it all behind a search box. If the whole database was a physical book, someone who does not know anything about minerals could get a good overview of minerals, but if all this knowledge is gated behind a search box, then that functionality is lost.

https://www.mindat.org/directory.php there's a directory, but it's hidden behind the more option. Does seem like an important thing to hide away.

Edit:on clicking the links it looks like all the entries are just empty pages.
