Question Search Filtering Function

I am not sure, but I don't think Abandonia Search Filtering Function is working fine. I have found many games in one or more genres. I am very confused. What is happening?

E.g.:

Adventures of Robin Hood, you can find it in the Adventure genre and the Puzzle genre.

Absolute Pinball, you can find it in the Arcade genre and the Unsorted genre.

Besides, you may not find some games. E.g.:

Joe and Mac - Caveman Ninja is an Arcade game. However, you cannot find it!

I guess the Search Filtering by genre is really messed up. Or not?

Anyways, I really hope the Search Filtering would be back to normal ASAP. Thanks in advance.

Puzzle and Arcade are genres as well as themes. I repaired Caveman Ninja by adding Arcade as theme as well.

Thanks for the help. By the way, I found more games with the same problem here. I think it is better to post another thread in Staff Forums, OK?

Thanks!

Mystvan, there is two searches: by genres (it does from menu at the top) and by themes (that works through right window). First one takes games from "matching" tags, but second search works by keywords. So every game _can_ be found by theme tag _and_ matching genre tag, but not vice versa.

Thanks for clarifying, but I still think there is something wrong. As yesterday's and today's quiz answers have the same kind of problem, after the today's new quiz, I will send you a PM, OK?

Well, I think it would be more interesting and pleasing if someone can search (un)certain game(s) easier and faster after the problems are fixed. Besides, I guess many Abandonians (like me ) can reply the daily quiz faster, right?

There is some problem? (I am personally searched first one by "similar" links, and second - well, I knew it. Hmm. Ok, I will be waiting for your letter.
