Game Search
[RSS]
Today we bring you the ability to search for games matching whatever your heart desires!
Over on the Games page, you will now find a search box. Searches are performed as "AND" style searches on each term. You can include multi-word terms by enclosing them in double-quotes.
In addition, you can use some Google-esque advanced search features to search specific fields. For example, if you want to find all games using the Carrier Battles mod, you could run searches such as:
mod:carrier
or
"mod:carrier battles"
A full list of supported advanced search parameters is:
game (game name)
mod (mod name)
type (se4/se5/eh)
host (username of host)
desc (game description)
And finally, we beefed up game security a tad, disabling the ability of applied but not approved replacement players from seeing the empire password value. Once the host approves a player, PBW2 will now send him and email with the empire name and password data.
UPDATE:
I have just noticed that the URL I put in for the form action was always just /game/, and thus any selection of "open" or "replacement" games would be lost on a search. I have adjusted the form to take on the appropriate URLs.

Nice :D
I wonder if there would be some logical way to filter out games that don't have any open player slots, too?
