Advanced Search request
« on: December 28, 2014, 12:24:21 pm »
I'd like to request a change to the advanced search. The ability to search only physical media, or to exclude digital versions like PSN, XBLA, Steam, Gog, etc.

The advanced search lets you search a single platform only... why would other items show up there?

I tend to work by series rather than game/platform. Its just an ease of use request.

I thought you were getting other platforms in advanced search, silly. :p

Having the search ignore specific things would need a special search method - basically ignore all the digital platforms. I don't know if that's currently possible. It might be.

Ah no. I was not submitting a bug report. When I do my searches I just use the normal search option.

If I were to do an advanced search and hide all the digital games, I'd have to select all the hardware platforms and then unselect the digital platforms. It is likely possible this way, but it is a lot more work.
