When searching for a game in the RGR, the relevance of your search term has been greatly upgraded. Before if you searched for 'Pokemon Red' for example, your results would've contained all games containing 'Pokemon' and/or 'Red' in order of views, rating, etc. Now when you go to search for 'Pokemon Red', the first games that'll come up will be games containing 'Pokemon Red', than the next set will be games that contain both 'Pokemon' and 'Red', after that will be games containing 'Pokemon' and than after that games containing 'Red'.

In other words, it's more like Google now where your search results are in order of the relevance of what you're searching for. It probably sounds confusing but all you need to know is that searching for a game is even better and easier.



To get an example of how much more powerful this is, here's a search someone was doing on the site of 'play pokemon shiny gold online':
Before:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index11.php?search=play%20pokemon%20shiny%20gold%20online&sort=rating
After:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?search=play%20pokemon%20shiny%20gold%20online&sort=rating

As you can see, the results are FAR more relevant. The first one, Pokemon Shiny Gold doesn't even come up and a lot of non Pokemon games come up first, the 2nd one it's mostly Pokemon games and Pokemon Shiny Gold is the first.

Here's the Pokemon Red example:
Before:

After:
https://www.vizzed.com/playonlinegames/index.php?search=pokemon%20red

Great Job Davideo7! (and anyone else who helped) this is great. I never liked the way the search function worked before. Especially if you didn't exactly know the full title of the game. Now it works so much better.

Thanks for all the hard work!

Jordanv78 : I'm the only developer on the site so when we get a new site feature, it's safe to assume that I did it all myself

This is actually something I've wanted to do with the search for a long time but I just didn't know how to do it.

Davideo7 : I figured you were, but I didn't want to exclude someone and have their feelings hurt. This was just more my way of covering all bases lol.

I'm sure it took some time to figure out. I appreciate the hard work! The search function works so much better now.

This is an awesome update, it'll come in handy for seeing which games are already in the RGR when I go to add one. It's happened a few times where I'd search for the game and it didn't come up in the results although it was in the RGR.
