The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
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.

Searching 'meka_dragon' returns nothing.
As does 'meka'.
Should these both reveal my picture? :-)

Searching 'gay' gets two results.
I wasn't surprised to find Flubber there, but From Russia With Love?

Searching 'shooting games' gives you nothing.
Searching nothing gives you everything.
Searching PC RPG gives you the DIV Games Studio, and Deus Ex.
You should be able to search by game genre, as the DVD genre search works well.

I searched "music" and the first things on the list were the DC and the PS. I think most people searching 'music' would be after PS Multimedia titles?
That the kind of thing you're after?

But - we will try to add some more well-known sayings and terms.

A ha, I have found the problem. The search engine DOESN'T split any of the words up. If people don't hit the space bar then they will keep on getting that annoying yellow screen. If you can program your search engine to split the letters up but ion the same order (i.e. put spaces alternatively in different places) then you will be able to return nintendo gameboy if you put nintendogameboy in.

I typed in 'join' and 'membership' and join membership' and nothing came up. people will want to join on-line and not bother with a phone call. there is no-direct link from the search I think that would be good.

You can't search for a review. I know you don't buy a review but they sure as hell do help when it comes to decision time. I know it would be hard to fit it in, BUT I typed in Mario Review and......nothing...
