It's been a year since I've sent out queries, but I could've sworn I had found an up-to-date search engine that let you search for agents who were currently accepting queries and for specific genres. I looked at Victoria Strauss's "Safest way to search for an agent" page, found in one of the agent faq topics on AW, but the online resources she lists are Agent Query, Query Tracker, and Publisher's Marketplace.
Agent Query was the big one I was aware of, but it's "agent updates" page hasn't seen a new post since 2014 (and the website's copyright mark still says 2015). I can see a list of agents on Query Tracker but can't limit them down via genre without a premium membership. I cannot navigate Publisher's Marketplace for the life of me and, again, membership is tied behind a paywall. I was able to find a list of agents who are members on Publisher's Marketplace, but without any ability to refine for "currently accepting queries" or "genre" or anything.
What resources are people using these days to search for agents?
(Apologies if this is the wrong forum. My question isn't directly publisher or query related, and I'm not specifically looking for agents' feedback, so I wasn't sure where this would go.)
