Source: http://www.mediamolecule.com/2009/02/25/shiny-new-search-features/ Shiny New Search features Just a quick update let everyone know that LBP now has some new search features. In addition to the Author search (put @ in front of the search word to search by Author) there are now some more new search methods. Search for words in Level Title only To search for words in Level Title only, put a $ in front of the search word . For example, to search for levels with ?Frenzy? in the Level Title type: $frenzy Search for exact words To search for exact words, use single quotes, like this: ?frenzy? This will search ONLY for the word ?frenzy? in Level Title and Level Description (so no fonzy, friendzy, fencey, frendy, frondy, fwendy, etc,etc). Search for phrases only To search by phrase, say, ?The Mighty Tower of Ultimate Doom?, use double quotes, like this: ?The Mighty Tower of Ultimate Doom? This will search only the Level Title & Level Description for exactly that phrase. Combine Searches If that?s not enough for you (whaa?!?) you can even combine searches! What do I mean? Well, say I wanted to search for ?Marks Multi Mega Marvellous Mashing Machine? by ?MarkLovesMashing9988′, I?d type in: $Mashing @MarkLovesMashing9988 Which will search for all levels with ?Mashing? in the Level Title that also has ?MarkLovesMashing9988′ as the author. Or I could type: ?Mashing Machine? @MarkLovesMashing Or. $Mashing @Mashing I could go on, but I think you get the idea? On top of all that, the default search is now less fuzzy. So, what you search for will show less results but be of a higher quality. Basically, it?ll find less but what it finds will be a more exact match to your search word. Phew! I?m all excited again about searching for those hidden gems. Aha!, I can even search for ?MmSC? without getting lots of ?Misc? levels (was that a subtle hint that there?s going to be another Mm Picks Survival Challenge Edition soon? hmmm, maybe?) Remember, if you find any gems out there, let me know! Anyways, Enjoy!

This is cool and all for those of us who are very computer-savvy, but I fear that the majority of the players won't be able to make heads or tails of this system, if they even *know* it exists.

Yeah this won't help the majority of LBP users. I really wonder why this sort of thing isn't updated as a patch with tutorials options that would pop up the next time you click on search... It's like MM never knows how to do it. :/ .

It's like MM never knows how to do it. :/ Well, I think the majority of LBP Players are actually fine with the search engine. It's us hardcore LBPers that complain the most (and that can see the flaws).

Just noticed this over on the MM blog Why can't they just have some buttons next to the search that you can select to turn on/off for your search Like: Search for words in Level Title only Search for exact words Search for phrases only
