When I search for a game in the search bar it comes up with loads of games, roughly a hundred and the game I want is put randomly amongst the other games and they are all jumbled up. I would like the search bar to be more accurate if possible.

It currently searches for Tags (which is horrible).

You can go to Google and type in site:armorgames.com/play *What you want to search* for now.

Wouldn't it be easier if the search was in the site, I think, the search should let you choose on what type of search it is gonna preform, like, searches for tags, or titles of the games. That is my idea.

Obviously, but most sites only care to make quick-and-dirty searches that usually don't work. Mostly only sites with great need for the users being able to find the information have better searches, though even those will fall into the trap of crap.

It goes alphabetical. Z starting at the top. A being at the bottom. Just find the leter your game starts with, and its not to hard.

So then, what kind of search is AG's?

Really? Never noticed that. I also have always thought it was all jumbled up. Apparently not. Though sometimes the searches don't show the game you looking for even if the whole title was typed in.

The guy who wrote the search on this version of the web site didn't do a very good job, which is why it doesn't work very well. AG3 will be better.

What I usually do is search for it on the search page.
I press command+F and it opens a text search for the page, and I search for the specific game.
(for PCs it's ctrl+F)

The search bar also picks up what is listed in the description that was written by whoever submitted the game. Icy is right, the ctrl + F really helps if you know all or part of the games name.
