"EXTRA EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE"

This one closes on April 1st, but it's not an April fool.

Over the coming weeks we are upgrading our search engine. It's having a triple destructurisation operation and invisible lurking terms enhancements.

The prize will go to the person who finds the MOST VALID PROBLEMS across our WHOLE PRODUCT RANGE in the SEARCH FACILITY.

If you think you should be able to search on "Horror Movies", but nothing comes up, then add it to your list.

If you think people will mis-spell gran turismo, then add that too - but test it first.

Use short lists if possible but multiple posts will count together. i.e. all your posts on this subject will add up and count towards the prize.

Closes 9 am on April 1st, 2001.

I recommend you read the details of our searching process which you can click to from a link at Site Map. Basically we use the start of a word, so a search on "thunder" will find "thunderball". If several words are combined it must find all.

The americans spell coloue color and even the english Gameboy Colour version is spelt color so why doesn't it work if we spell it like that

You put a space between Game and Boy when you write it but when you put a space on the search engine it wont allow it it has to be one word.

People might get confused and do the space thing so make sure it works (Please)

Microsoft didn't come uop with th x box and it should do

Same with Sony games and Sega games (PS Dringo star is the same as the old Dringo)

I typed in Nintendo games and it came up with Consoles and expansion paks?

It would be good if you could bring up all the Nintendo games.

Blank CD-Rs dont work and as it sometimes mentions it in the top corner it should

You guys rule and you all come up with great ideas oh and Meka (Sniggering) I came up with that wrestleing problem aswell.

No? Who was then?

Go to a section where i mention EA

This is nothing to do with the search engine but if you click on the "Future of Gaming" link on the UKdiscussions.com page, it takes you to the forum listing. I'd prefer it if it took me to the future of gaming forum.

and finally nothing for Gameaday winners
