hi everyone

im gerble1000

and i think it would be great to have a search feature involved in gameex

you could even make it optional in the config?

example

{mario}

list:

mario64

super mario brothers

mario all stars

mario golf

mario kart

if you think that this is a good idea please leave a reply.as im tring to get as many replies{votes}

as possible

thanx

It isn't a bad idea but I think most people don't really use a keyboard as a feature on their machines.

When you go to a game in GameEx, it has a list of similar titles and sequels at the bottom where the history is. I have always used that and the KLOV (Killer List of Video Games).

Not a bad idea...

Sounds good.

But there aren't that many titles which cross generations/platforms. Usually if you have an idea like mario, or sonic you know where to find it. Also a search feature might be difficult for cab users who don't all use keyboards.

I think this is a good idea too. The ability to implement this wouldn't be very hard. Just have the search option open a new screen/menu and use a virtual keyboard layout. At the top of the screen have an input field and at the bottom of the screen have a keyboard layout. Each letter would be a button. And the user can use their remote/controller and go to say the button [m] and press the enter button, then move to [a] and press enter, [r], , [o] etc... then go up to the top field again where another button would say [sEARCH] and it would execute. I've seen this type of system used in regular console games that have online abilities. Where a keyboard isn't present the user can still "type" out the data.

NOTE TO ALL: Please remember to use the feature request sticky. Although I've implemented hundreds of requests, and plan to implement 100's more its me and me only who decides, and I really don't need a vote to investigate, evaluate and then possibly design and implement a feature. If a request is not in the sticky it could likely get lost, I very rarely go more than four pages deep into the forum unless I am searching. Don't mean to spoil your fun though

[gerble1000]

that is very true

not many poeple have keyboards on there machines

all though i do and i know others do.

and thats a good idea with the virtual keyboard ???

also the search function makes it easier if the file is named

64 mario

or

smariob

see what i mean

ive searched for certain games and not found them

and then 1 day stumbled on it and realised it was named something stupid??

anyway keep those comments coming

I'm not one of these ppl who would use the search feature. The navigation with a controller does the job quickly enough for me. My tuppence.
