Maybe put 'Hit enter for more results' under the search bar?

Speaking of search here's a really good open source full text search engine we could use for the site. http://lucene.apache.org/
At the moment out search is very strict and ends up causing a lot of duplicates to be made.

"Browse" is a pretty good (if a bit inconvenient) 'double-check' to help cut down on adding new dupes...

I would still like to ask for the hit enter near the search button.

And i did a search for pac-man and got 6 pages. Isnt it possible to make a foldout (or something else) so you can choose the system your after?

When you use Browse, you can search by platform   ;D

Dont worry about it.

I wanted to add some stuff to my collection, and finding some bad added games. It started to annoy me a bit. Mods should have a button that could cancel a new entry. I dont even know if they see the new entrys, or only the edits.

We can see all entries in a list and I go through it once in a while to get rid of dupes and fix some really bad entries. I haven't done so for a bit because I'm waiting for matt to apply a fix to something in the backend.

I got a bit tired with adding a few games and ending up fixing, or actually not fixing bad entry's.

I'm not exactly sure what the issue is here, but I can clear up the "gray vs grey" thing. They are both correct.

Maybe, but deping on which u search only one will come up.

Same thing goes with searching this : thing in the title, or not in the title.

It would help if the search displays that u have to look for keywords and hit enter. And then it would help if u can narrow it down with some kind foldout wich hold the systems.

For what it's worth, you can click advanced under the search button and choose by platform. I use this a lot when looking for/adding strategy guides.
