ever realise how when you type in the exact name of a game one in the search games box you get a whole list of random games. any other site it pulls up the exact game with mabye a secual or something, but you get what you want. this one you type something and then need to sift throu the games to find the one you actully searched for. it would be greatly apriciated if they could fix that

I like it. It gives you a nice mic of games to play. Then again that is just my persoanly opinion. It was a bit odd at first but now it is just fun. It is that kind of thing that makes this place great.

lol nice

thats what the new games section and catagories are for, also theres a random game button, the search section should be for finding your game, as it implies by SEARCH.

I'd agree with you entity, this has been a problem for a very long time and I am rather frustrated with it. You know the search engine is not very good when you search "free rider 2" and get results like "toast of war" "warlords" these games don't even have anything to do with free rider, let alone the spelling isn't even similar. It would be nice if the Mods would maybe post a status update on the fixings to this problem, if there is even any status on it to report...

It's because it is a keyword search. Deal with it.

Is it really that big of a deal? The game you are looking for always shows up.

Yup.

I also can't stand having all those games, when I typed word for word the game I wanted. Hopefully this will get fixed.

Or, what I just thought of is maybe have the game you search for be first and have its title and info be bolded, that would make it a lot easier to find.

That was genius there.

I would prefer the keyword search...it just doesn't seem like it's that big a deal and the search is fairly good it's not like it gives you Unreal Flash when you type in Pandemic o_O

Indeed.
Rather just have the closest matches first instead of bolded because there may be a couple games with the same title and you'd have 5 bolded titles =O

or rather just do as i sugested earlier and make the game with similar titles apear at top in a seperat box then underneath that put games with key words.

It's because it is a keyword search. Deal with it.


so how is it that every search seems to have warloards on it?

Because warlords has a lot of words. The search searches title, description, and possibly the tag. If you want better search results only use one word, and use the least common word.

If you want to search Arachnid Wars, you would enter Arachnid, not Wars.

----------
If would want to search game use google and type in the following search keywords (whatever...).

site//armorgames.com/play/ *keywords here*

Enter that into google and you get a better search.

------

Or you can search and use your find function on your browser to find the game you want in the long list of games to find what you want.

--------

I think that the search could be better, but I don't think it is worth the time wasted. Use the above 3 methods.

Well mostly every game in this website have to relate to war or fighting I guess that's why they come up.

Yeah this very good way to find a game, I use it all the time.

I tried searching Pillage the Village today.

The actual game was listed on the 2nd page of searches. I would like this problem fixed and also, the drop down menu should have "Shop" and "Community" and "Users" included in it.

Please don't write the topic in all caps. It is very annoying.

I do agree with you guys, but we probably make an order of what we want to be done.

In fact, I will start a topic in the Tavern about that.
