Searchable custom fields?

[Areinu]

I use custom fields to keep some custom metadata that doesn't fit anywhere else. I would like to be able to search by those, but I couldn't find any place to do so. All I can do is filter or select games from the list, which doesn't help me too much.

Also, it would be amazing if I could be able to see those fields in the list view, so I could sort by custom fields.

Right now custom fields are really close to useless. Sure - they appear in my game details, but other than that don't help me organize my games in any way

I have wanted this for a VERY long time. IE, add a field for games that have controller support, so you can narrow games down if you wanted a couch game day without a keyboard and mouse

I just realized that custom fields are not taken into account when using the search function and stumbled across this old topic here

I have added an ID to all my games, currently as a custom field ("eXoID")

But I can't use the search function, only the filter function. But since there are thousands of IDs, it's not easy to find the entry in the filter list... So it's not easy to search for a specific ID

Are there any plans to add the custom fields to the search function yet @C-Beats @Jason Carr ?

If not, I'll submit a feature request for this... 😉

I've not been tasked to develop this, so I'd go ahead and throw in a feature request.

thank you 👍

I created a feature request in bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/9117/include-custom-fields-in-the-search
