Out of curiosity, how would this search function be useful?

Agreed - I'd rather see AND or NOT

What's the point? Just do two separate searches...

To have all games from different players in one page.

For example I have 2 friends from RL playing here. Sometimes I want to know, what they are doing :mrgreen:

I think I would still rather make two separate searches. I don't think it is that convenient to have results from several players mixed together show up.

Ya... AND and NOT would be much more useful...

All right, that is not an excellent idea. I got the idea after read this viewtopic.php?f=4&t=53873. I thought, they were working there now, so why not... ;)

Game Finder - 'OR' Function

Concise description:
  • The idea is that you will be able to fill in the current "Find games with player x AND player y" boxes with "Find games with player x OR player y.

Specifics:
  • There could even be a tick-box next to each cell, and you can click "And" or "Or".
  • If this specific is met then the default ticked box should remain as "And" to reduce confusion.
  • I'm not quite sure what would happen if you filled in 3 cells, two of which said "Or" and one said "And", but that's up for discussion.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Saving everyone from having to do two seperate searches.
  • Makes games easier to find.
  • Makes the site look more professional.
