Maybe not fixworthy.
But it's funny how our search engine works.
For instance when searching for 'Rat Attack' you get the following results.
http://vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=Rat+Attack&keyword=&console=&region=All&developer=&publisher=&genre=&boxart=Both&results=50&order=LastUpdate


What's wrong with it?

The game search should work for the japanese & PAL names (if they were already added of course) of a game & not only for the default (mostly US) one.
For instance you should be able to find 'Style Savvy' for DS under 'Wagamama Fashion: Girls Mode' & 'Nintendo Presents: Style Boutique'.
And the PAL name should be visible just like the japanese one on the regular Game Profile page & not only on the 'Edit Game Info' page .

You do know that if you set the region to "Japan" or "PAL" you can search on those names entered. The default is the US.

Due to the way we display results there is nothing "wrong" with the results. One thing I have been wanting to do is a "closeness" measure. Sort of like how gamefaqs will seperate them in Best, Good, Poor.

EDIT: now, if you want to complain about a searching problem, numbers (like 1,2,3,4,5...) don't get searched on properly.

@nordlead
But this does not prevent you from adding a new game under one of the other regions names even if those name is already added.
And like Gfaqs our search results should show a game even if you didn't search for the default name.

Okay, so I have added Football Manager 2010 to my collection, but it appears at the end of my PC collection:

That's because the alphabetical order of the originally entered names stays intact regardless of any name change.
Worldwide Soccer Manager 2010 was the name before it was changed.

Would it be possible to implement RSS for site articles?

you know what would be super cool, is if you could click on the system tags under the user avatars and it would take you to their game collection for that system.

edit: also, can we move the system tags up closer to the avatar as it wastes a lot of vertical space and makes people have to scroll more.

What! Anyway, I suppose the best way to avoid this is to use the name for the same region as the box art that you use, but I don't know how easy that is
