Forums > Site Announcements > Small update: site search

I just made a slight tweak to the search results page, to respond to feedback the site received through the contact queue.

The contact suggested that it is difficult to tell that a game has reviews, if there are multiple versions of a game available and someone searches for the game by title. They then had to click through multiple profiles to check for reviews.


To resolve that issue, I have updated the results page so that instead of listing whether a title is available as a physical or digital release (a distinction that grows less useful all the time, since the status can change at the drop of a hat), each listing now indicates the number of attached reviews. That way, if one version has a review or two and the others don't, you can click through to the profile that does have reviews and read them without performing a tedious experiment.

I will continue to look for ways to refine the experience of using the site, to make it more friendly to newcomers and long-time members alike. There probably won't be a lot of big changes in the future, but the little tweaks I can make may still prove helpful.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2
