With every new sale and every new game added to the catalog, it becomes more and more cumbersome to search the catalog.

When will GOG add options to organize the catalog by % discount and $ discount?
When will we have the option to exclude from the search owned games?
And what about blacklisting games? There are games, no matter the price, that I don't want to buy because it's from a genre I don't like or whatever reason.

It's a chore to have to navigate to hundreds of titles during a sale to find the games that I really want.

GOG it's more than time to up your game.

With love,

edit: typo.

Agreed, but it has been a problem for ages and people have brought it up again and again, along with other issues that are still present, so there's little hope that this will change any time soon.

In the meantime, you can use CheapShark and
MaGog for any sorting and filtering you desire.

It would be nice searching or sort by system requirements on the GOG catalog or your own library. Is there any way to do this? ^_^

Do you want to move to Poland to join their design team or send code to them to fix this?

Agreed, this seems like a relatively easy thing to fix. Maybe even bandage it with a Google web search like some cheap websites do.

General rule of thumb, if someone says a fix is easy in a suppport forum, it;s not easy. So in other words, you want to allow Google access to our accounts? I don;t think that's going to go over well with the privacy minded folks we have here in the forums.

I can't see how a Google search is going to pick up on percentage discounts with the different pricing folks see depending on what country they're coming from. Usually someone does take the time to figure out the percentages and makes a post of them in the Sales thread. Just to mention, you are aware of the Wishlist feature we have here, right? That would probably be quicker than going thru the sales pages.

What implementing the google search does, I think is basically relieve typing out "search term" site;gog.com.

Anyone can do it but instead of typing all that out, there is a one click solution to it. Like, I said it's cheap and therefore quick and dirty but most websites solve this when they are being planned, developed and then once the site grows and matures its coding, it becomes harder, of course, to implement this fix. Naturally or so I would think, more code means more work and more bugs.

It's easy in the sense when actually planning the website, it's one of the first thing thought of when implementing a website and an oversight of it should be fixed as soon as possible. Of course, hindsight is 20/20.

Now, like you said, there could be no easy fix for it but we're mearly asking questions. Questions that of course we will likely get no reliable answer to.

Atleast it works better than the forum search :P

I understand that and have pointed it out many times as to how folks can find a solution here on the website. As a quick aside, don't suggest that to folks around. It offends some folks to be shown how one finds an answer here on the forums.

If you reread binn05's post up there, he or she is talking about doing searches reflecting on someone's personal data here at the website. ie: excluding games already purchased, on someone's personal ignore list, etc.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind.

I understand that and disagree with that part of it. The blacklist idea sounds something along the lines of the Steam queue and I think that's a bad idea as well.

Soon™, of course.

On a tad more serious note, there's a solution to your 2nd issue - if you aren't averse to using userscripts, fellow GOG user Barefoot_Monkey has developed and maintains the Barefoot Essentials script which, among many other features, allows you to hide owned games.

Note, however, that it works only via browser.

Thank you, didn't know about those sites. Oh, yes. I use the wishlist, just sometimes I want to see what the catalog have that I might been missing. Thnak you very much :D
Thank you. Will look for that.

Eventually you find yourself making threads to ask people to tell you what games to buy rather than trying to go through the entire catalogue with inadequate search functions.

A note about MaGog - while it's a great site/tool that allows you to import your game library, and filter it out in your searches, MaGog doesn't track games that were released on here after 2017.06.17.
