Search

When you know what you're looking for, the Search tab is the fastest way to get there.

TODO: Search tab with text input and filter button

Type any part of a game's name into the search box. Results refresh as you type. Matches can include the localized name, alternate names, and abbreviated titles.

Filters​

Tap the filter icon to add structured filters on top of the text search:

  • Genre — Action, Adventure, Fighting, Puzzle, Racing, RPG, Shooter, Sports, Strategy, …
  • Manufacturer — original publisher / developer (e.g. Capcom, Konami, SNK)
  • Year — release year, single value or range

Multiple filters combine with AND. Clearing the search box keeps the filters in place; clear filters separately if needed.

Result cards​

Each result shows the cover, title, and the system it belongs to. Tap to open the Game Detail page.

Opening Search with a preset filter​

Some places in the app open Search with a filter already applied. For example, from a Game Detail page you can tap a genre link and land on Search filtered to that genre. This is the same screen — just with the chip pre-selected.

Tips​

  • Search is case-insensitive.
  • If a search returns nothing, double-check the system. Some titles exist on multiple systems (e.g., "Street Fighter II" on Arcade vs. SNES) and may use slightly different naming.
  • For Japanese-only releases, try the English transliteration first; if it doesn't match, switch the Language filter in Explore to Japanese.
  • Discover — for unguided browsing
  • Explore — for system-specific browsing
