Hey I also got the idea for Armorgames 3.0
At the top you see the 'games' scroll down, but it only says games. It would be better if it scrolled down

*Games
*Users

If you ever search someone, go to http://armorgames.com/user/[Username here]

That brings you to his profile page.

And how do you plan this? Working with tags? This would slow the site pretty much.

There is this old custom Google search I used a few times.

I definitely agree, it would just make for better accessibility. Those were some long words for me.

AG used to have a built-in forum search, though it failed horribly and was taken down. To access it, replace the "insert here" with something you'd like to search for.

I believe the old one used tags, but it doesn't look obvious.

I'm not quite so sure why AG didn't start out with a proper search engine, like that of Kongregate.

For searching you will have to rely on the "unofficial" Google custom search engines created by some users here.

DDX's Forum Search (the first)

I'll dig up some more when I find them.

Kacboy's link works well, however the custom searches do tend to fail when it comes to inactive accounts, little active users and common usernames.

I know you can do that but new peeps to the site would not know this.
