Search By Publisher Or Designer?

Post by FSKFSK »

Is there any way to search for "All Rio Grande Games" or "All Thomas Lehmann Games"? It probably could be implemented in the current system, just by adding appropriate tags.

There is a way to do this by searching Community Tags on BoardGameGeek, but it isn't great. Under the search bar, there is a dropdown menu (default "boardgames") that you can switch to "Tags".

There is a "BGA" tag which seems to be relatively up to date. Publishers and designers may be a little harder to find (for instance "RioGrande" works instead of "RioGrandeGames", and the best search for Tom Lehmann's games seems to be "thomas-lehmann"). To search for multiple tags at once, just leave a space between the search terms.

There doesn't seem to be a way to further refine (or sort) the results, nor is there a way to search across both tags and BGA data (like publication date or ratings). (I am not an expert on BGG, so there may be a way to do this without programming. Most of the threads I found on this seemed to be at least ten years old.)
