On the search pages of the Retro Game Room and the Video Game Room, I've moved the list of searchable systems away from the main search box and gave it its own search box and placed that box below the search results.

The way it was before, all of the systems had to squeeze inside the main search box which resulted into most of the systems being cut off resulting into a user having to scroll through the box to see all of the available systems. Most likely a lot of users didn't scrolling through that which resulted into a lot of users not knowing that there were as many systems available as there are. Giving the systems its own box exposes more of the available systems and it also pushes the search results higher up on the page.

Seeing this in action most likely would make more sense than reading what I've posted so you can take a look for yourself here:

I like the change a lot. Not only because I don't have to scroll through the box just to find the systems at the bottom, but also because now the games are listed before the search box.

I like it because it's a lot more tidy at the top of the page, but the best part about the change for me is that it looks waaaaaay better on mobile. Scrolling through that tiny box on a touch screen, especially since scrolling doesn't always want to work right on mobile, was a hassle to say the least. My only concern is that moving the platform list towards the bottom may obscure it further.... I've just got a gut feeling that some who aren't searching for a specific title may overlook it completely without bothering to scroll down. That could just be me over analyzing, though. I have a habit of doing that.

Great update from the previous version. I know it's difficult at times to figure out search option placement on a page especially when you like to have tons of options. I do have a suggestion though. I'd recommend putting an anchor link above the main search box next to the "Games Found" text so that lazy people can jump to the system list in case they wonder where it is.
