I know that this probably have been requested a dozen of times in the past, but i will have to ask one more time:
It’s really so complicated to create a public channel directory that is updated automatically with all the edge drivers channels available, enabling to easylly find and enroll from the list?
More than that, a list of all publicated edge drivers, with the hability to filter the drivers from the enrolled channels?
If we can search for a specific fingerprint in the drivers, that would be a dream!!

It would be a dream, but SmartThings has never provided anything like that, either before edge drivers or since.
At one point there was a community-created wiki for device type handlers with a sortable model list, but the person who was hosting it had to stop hosting it and no one else picked it up. And to be honest, there were only two or three of us who contributed to the model list anyway, so it was always incomplete.
I would love to see it happen, and even more so if it was an official list.

Thats the problem with community-created lists that are not updated automatically 
If only the public API had the commands available to request the list of ALL published channels and drivers, we could get the job done.

Not all public channels are meant to generally available. Many developers have channels strictly for making drivers available for testing as an example.

It isn’t difficult for users to create lists of subscribed channels, the drivers in those channels, and the fingerprints in those drivers if they really want to. There is however the issue of there not currently being a way to unsubscribe from a channel so there can be a lot of crud to deal with.
On a broader scale the need to be subscribed to a channel to see the drivers becomes an issue. Not just in assembling invitations to those channels that the owner intends for public use, but in needing to ignore subscribed channels that the owner no longer wishes to allow further subscriptions too.

It’s just a matter of creating a flag if a channel is public or not
