More specific tag search - ability to combine or exclude tags

DivineBloodline · 2020-02-16T15:09:08+00:00

When searching with tags is there anyway to have the search results to require all tags? Example being if I search with the tags FPS and RPG I would like to...

Absolutely ludicrous. You'd think this would happen automatically but it isn't even an option.
Why the f*** would I wanna see 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘨𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘵 that matches 𝘈𝘕𝘠 tag when I could just search with that tag on its own if that's what I wanted?
This isn't a missing feature, it's the search just being broken because of an oversight.
Please fix

Both combining and excluding items seem like useful mechanics. And it should apply not only to the tag filter but to all filters in the list format.

Completely agree:

Default tag search resolving to an OR clause instead of an AND clause unfortunately makes multiple tag searches nearly useless. Is there a technical limitation instead of a functional reason why this was made so?

remike

hster it depends on the filter type. For example thr DRM filter is better with OR functionality. Other filters would be useless with the AND functionality (ie. type filter where you select game OR DLC OR pack).

We simply went for a unified system that works in most cases. Admittedly, with Genres and Tag filters alternative solution would work better.

Coming soon 🙂

bstrd Since today "Added from", "Collection tags" and "Launcher" filters work in a similar way: they all support multi-select and excluding options.
