Is it me or is the GS search useless? I searched Tron 2.0, and the search didnt show any result that had Tron 2.0 for PC and only showed the GBA game. That made the search useless.

Then i search Call of Jaurez, i got like 50 results, 90% of it was call of duty and 1 call of jaurez which was the last. Why did i get call of duty in the results? I didnt search for it, for i searched came in the last. So, hats off to this search engine!

That's why it helps to tag as much as possible. I had the same problem with Murder on the Orient Express when searching for Poirot, the main character of that game.

I agree, the search function need to be worked on. While they do have the new rubics thing, tagging and gamefinder can help the basic search is not very helpful and can be very annoying.

i did some searching from your games you requested and i didn't find them at the bottom, above the call of duty 3 for the 360, theres tags marked under related search terms, and the first one is Call of Juarez or something

Tag more things for they can be easier too find. I had the same problem trying too find Pokemon Fire red
