Search Suggestion

Welcome to the first of a long line of planned postings describing the current and future functionality of GameSquat, have a peek, if you start using a feature we describe that you weren't aware of before, all this typing will be well worth it!

We've recently added a search suggestion feature to GameSquat, type a sequence of characters into our search bar and you'll see a list of games with titles matching the characters you've typed. Click any of the titles to go directly to that game, a great way to find a game whose name you can't quite remember, or in my case discover cool games that you never knew existed on GameSquat.


(GameSquat's Search Suggestion)

There's keyboard shortcuts a plenty, use up and down arrow keys to select any search suggestion offered. Left and right arrow keys can be used to de-select any suggestion and finally hitting your escape key will close the search suggestion box.

If you prefer you can ignore any search suggestions and fall back on our existing keyword search - just enter your keywords into the search bar and hit return to be presented with a list of games matching your search. Or turn of the suggestions altogether by clicking on the cross to the right of the 'Search Suggestions' label - the suggestions will disappear until your next GameSquat session.

Give it a try!
