discussion Best way to search for games

[DeepSeed]

Normally, I just look at what's in Latest Updates. However, being more active in the forums now I'm seeing a lot of games mentioned I'm interested in looking into.

However, I haven't found a great way to search for the games without returning other threads that have just mentioned a game by name. Is there a way to limit the search to only the game forums that I'm missing?

should be able to use the "this forum" option, or something in the advanced search to do that.
That being said, my "normal" way is to filter by whatever tag tickles my fancy atm and browse.

I have a dedicated browser (Brave) for such resources. I have three tabs open at all times - Latest Updates here, on LC, then on *F*95* and on island-of-pleasure. That's enough for me. I occasionally check out dikgames.

The site dev is working on a better Latest Updates section. I think that's where the money is going.

It seems like a functional solution is: Go to Advanced Search, Select the search threads tab, Check Search Titles only, Select the Games forum from the search in forums option, and then type the full game name in quotes for the search.

Do all that, and it seems like I can get the single result I'm looking for... assuming the game name being searched for is correct.

Hopefully they will make some improvements. Like being able to directly search within the forum you're currently in.

Click on the games section, and theres filters to the right to find something of your liking, if you have a specific name in your head just type in the sear area you will find it with a thread with tags in it.

perhaps something like a follow or wish list system would be nice? No idea how difficult that is though

Pretty hard to miss where its going when it's to the right of every page on the site.

Thanks for the website, there was one I didn't know!

Go to google and type what your thinking about and then F 95. It's still the most well kept database.
