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).

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 :)

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
