"Browse" functions I'd like to see

[desocietas]

Excited about the site so far!  I'm going through the "browse" feature to add games to my collection and noticed two things that would be helpful:

- option to not display items already in my collection
- option to sort by most recently added to the site (or a link to a running  list of the "Latest items" featured on the left of the site?)

I guess it's kinda related, but when I search for in item in the search bar, is there a way to search different keywords without it being inclusive of punctuation or proper word order?

For example:
- be able to search "shin megami tensei persona" and get "shin megami tensei: persona"
- be able to search "shin persona" and get options for the SMT Persona series

Thanks!

I've got something that's been in the works for a while that will solve your first issue:

(just in development stage right now so it doesn't look pretty and may break)

As for the search engine I'm going to be investigating other options. Right now we are just doing a basic "like" search which as you can tell is very limited.

Thanks for the response, Matt!  I saw the thread about this yesterday and thought that was a pretty handy feature for the collectors.
However, I was imagining something more along of the lines of a checkbox or something to change what items were displayed on this page:
http://vgcollect.com/browse/nds
... so that, for example, only items not included in my collection would show up for the sake of adding multiple titles to my wishlist (once/if that feature is available outside of the item's detail record).
