Saved Searches

We've just released a new feature that lets folks save searches, so seems like a good excuse to explain how it works.

Say you frequently search for games developed by yours truly, scoot down to the bottom of the 'Games' page, click 'Show Advanced Search Options' and select GameSquat from the 'developed by' dropdown as normal.


(GameSquat's Saved Searches Feature )

Once the 'Games', page has reloaded and is showing games developed by GameSquat, the new search bar will be displaying the option to 'Save This GameSquat Search', click that link. A save dialogue will then appear giving you the chance to name your search click 'Save Search', wait a sec or two an your done.


(GameSquat's Search Save Dialogue)

Close the save dialogue and you'll see your new search listed below the new search bar. Whenever you're logged in and you visit the 'Games' page the new search will be listed just below the search bar, just click to carry out the search.

There's an extra option too, click the email icon to the left of any saved search's title and we'll drop you a email whenever new games appear in your search. Enabling and disabling this option is as simple as clicking the icon, by default this option is disabled.


(Search Showing Email And Delete Icon)

Click the red cross icon to the left of any search's title and the search will be deleted.

Finally if you select a search and click the search's name in the search bar, the save dialogue will appear giving you the option to rename your search.

That's it, have a play, more ramblings and new features next month, keep it squat.
