Suggested Region Filtering Feature

[frankofthejaegers]

Hi, It would be amazing if users were able to restrict search results to platform regions matching their own. For example if I search for any game I see games from NA, JP, EU and AU, however as I live in the UK I only want to see results from EU. It would be very useful if, for example, there was a checkbox in the user settings to do this automatically? There is a feature similar to this on retrocollect and it's very useful.

Just an idea!

When you bring up the search window in the top right, you can click 'Advanced' which let's you select a platform and region, I think you meant search any platform within a specific region, but that's the closest we have right now.

Yeah I know what you mean, I use that feature at the moment but I find it's not as user friendly due to the region and platform being within the same field.

Having the option of pre-filtering out irrelevant results would mean I would be more inclined just to use the regular search which is quicker than going into advanced search and then having to pick the field; currently I don't use basic search as the volume of results returned is too large. At the moment if I use basic search to look for a game I get up to 4 times as many results, I know that I can zoom in on individual platform and regions using the advanced search but it's additional clicks and a bit tedious when you're adding large amounts of games to your collection. Know what I mean, or am I talking nonsense? Haha.

Could make the category select drop down a select multiple instead of a select single?  Then you could just select the categories you want.
