Ofc I search for tags with the search function, what else should they be good for? oo

So, to be found for somebody who searches for "Mahjong" atm, I would have to put "Mahjong" in the description of my game?

there are two search boxes

one is a real search box

the other is a box to add tags

the tags add url modifier in browse, and you combine them. they are not case sensitive. this is not wikipedia.

tags are tags and not search terms. you can tag stuff that is not written anywhere in the desciription, because it is attributes of the game, that you think do apply. like singleplayer,   puzzle, board game. Of course if you tag mostly descriptive stuff, you will most likely write it in description of game too.

if i "search" for   single player board game, i get 60 results

if i combine tags single player and board game i get 421 results

your game name is literally mahjosomething. you can be found with mahj in search box. but search results are limited to 60 it seems. there is probably some randomness involved when the search stopps.

and yes, i did find you with mahj but not with mahjong in the 60 results.
