Digesting Searches on Great Games
Because we have become a society of search, I decided that this day would be a nice one [albeit a cloudy one here in Eugene] to give the search a little love. Previously, when you searched on Great Games Experiment, you would receive the results for your query as a mish-mash of all types. For instance, if I searched for “Mario”.. I would get a master list of Games, Users, and Groups that made sense for my keyword. However, now you get to land on a page that gives you an overview of your search results.
In this case I’m searching for “Mario” and specifically looking to find the game page for “Dr. Mario”. My results land me on a page that looks like so….
Two choices here make sense for me. I can view all of the games tagged “Mario” by users who submitted mario games. Or, I can view all game search results. I’m going to go ahead and view all of the game results.
Wow! Looks at all those Mario games! I don’t see the game I’m looking for here, so I’m going to scoot over to page two.
Voila! I have found my game. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to go reminisce about my late youth and playing Dr. Mario.
