Search Game Title in BigBox?

Recommended Posts

Coming from Hyperspin, really enjoying the customizable themes and views available here in BB. The only thing so far that's completely inferior to HS is the search function. HS seems to have a "title only" search function, and the results are listed by platform. This performs quickly with predictable results and the results are easy to navigate.  Conversely, searching in BB seems to parse all of the metadata, not just the game title, so you get way too many results. In addition the results are shown in one big list, which is hard to navigate when there are lots of results. 

In conclusion the BB search function would be much nicer if A.) you had to option to search by GAME TITLE only and B.) The search results were sorted by platform.

Attaching photos below for comparison.

Odd, the other thread where I was commenting about search was locked - and this just ahead of a search update. Would have been nice to close the discussion there, apropos of the search update. Excited to test it out!
