I've never had the feeling that it was particularly bad. In your case it seems to be that the game Night Run was removed from the Steam Store, which is why it's excluded from the search. Which isn't great when the store page still exists...

When Googling the store page, it says:

Notice: Night Run is no longer available on the Steam store.

So I guess it makes sense you can't search for it.

Yeah, I’ve noticed this happens when steam removes a game. They need to do a Netflix sort of thing and be like “We know this exists, but we don’t have it”

It is not the best. Instead, I use SteamDB to search for games.

[–] raiun@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

Yes to SteamDB. Easier to find if random sales are good or not as well.

Search for a game that is on steam

dave the diver is really having a marketing push, huh? It doesn't even match any of the words in the search term. I see it everywhere.

[–] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The only thing that I don't like about the search is that the tags are crowd-sourced so you get a lot of games tagged as genres they aren't.

i hate how you can only filter price by 5's, so if you have like 17 bucks in your steam wallet you have to sort by 20 and ignore like half of the options

[–] harry_assman@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Looks good to me. At least “Dave the Diver” made it to the top of your search!

It could be better

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just wish I could add more tags to the block list or block specific publishers.

[–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can block publishers. Search the name of the company, go to their page, and block from there.

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's nice to know, thank you.

[–] Twink@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

It used to be better imo.
