Brian has updated the search engine based on the feedback we received in the last round of testing. The new search is now the default search engine being used. The old search engine is still accessible for a little while longer. We encourage you to keep testing the new search and provide us with feedback. In another few weeks, we will be removing the old search completely. Thanks for all the valuable feedback.
We've also set up a MobyGames Twitter account. News posts are automatically tweeted when they are approved. If you have other ideas on how to integrate with Twitter, we would love to hear your suggestions in the forum.

Good job, thanks, I am now able to find all the games I'm looking for so far.

Or let contributors/approvers decide about this. Grant them a check box "Publish this new game entry on Twitter after approval?". Of course, this check box shall only be available if the game entry is quite complete.

It doesn't get spammy with the New Reviews feed. Just saying.

Tweeting new game entries as well?
Censoring out adult games (and ones with no cover art?) like the frontpage does?

[/Q --end Erkenbrand wrote--]Virtually all modern console games take ages to get screenshots. We shouldn't discriminate those because of a lack of screens.
And like it or not, compilations and special editions are normal entries. So they get screentime too.

Search engine is much better. Any chance we can get all alt titles listed that match the search term? For example, a search for "enforcer" will pull up "Mob Enforcer", but won't mention that the X-Box title is "Chicago Enforcer".

Any chance you could put that "go to page" thingy at the bottom of the search results as well as the top?
