Searching for levels

Archive: 5 posts


Am I that dumb or the search function is not very user friendly? As I browse through the forum I have my PS3 on, so I type the level names exactly as they appear here and I get 100s of levels that may have a variation on the name and it takes me a lot of time (depending on the name) to find exactly what I am looking for. Case in point, last night I wanted to play "The Dark Age", so I entered that in the text section and gave me 5 pages of levels that had "Dark" and "Age" in both the title and description of the level, almost gave up...

Is it supposed to be like that or am I missing something? Same with "Out of Africa", OMG, even "Afrika" came out on the results....

Unfortunately, it is like that and can't be changed for now. Let's hope MM will include search operations such as "" 's and AND for better results.
I found the best way is to just search for the PSN Name of the creator.

so you can type the PSN ID in the text box as well? How dumb of me, I was looking for a "PSN ID search button" or something...

Thanks!

You were looking for one because that would make sense.

The search engine is pretty bad and the cataloguing with tags is not as good as it appears. I don't know if MM was ready for the kind of volume of levels they got. It can get quite tedious to sort through the rubbish, and occasionally I find a great level that has been around for awhile and had hardly any plays, because it's buried on the 10th page and I only found it becuase I was mindlessly browsing.

Perhaps, but since you have an option to find more levels from the same user (after you were lucky enough to find the first one), they could have added that option as a main search. Seems to me more like lack of thinking on their part...
