Out of curiosity, how would this search function be useful?

Agreed - I'd rather see AND or NOT

What's the point? Just do two separate searches...

To have all games from different players in one page.

For example I have 2 friends from RL playing here. Sometimes I want to know, what they are doing :mrgreen:

I think I would still rather make two separate searches. I don't think it is that convenient to have results from several players mixed together show up.

Game Finder - 'OR' Function

Post by ManBungalow »

Concise description:
  • The idea is that you will be able to fill in the current "Find games with player x AND player y" boxes with "Find games with player x OR player y.
Specifics:
  • There could even be a tick-box next to each cell, and you can click "And" or "Or".
  • If this specific is met then the default ticked box should remain as "And" to reduce confusion.
  • I'm not quite sure what would happen if you filled in 3 cells, two of which said "Or" and one said "And", but that's up for discussion.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Saving everyone from having to do two seperate searches.
  • Makes games easier to find.
  • Makes the site look more professional.
