Suggestion for improving search & filtering on the bugs/suggestions page
Posted: 19 December 2023, 20:30
Searching and filtering in the bugs+suggestions section of BGA is broken and hard to use, but a few simple fixes can make it much more useful:

1. Filter fields require you to pick exactly one item from each menu, or leave it blank to not filter by that field. They should be multiple choice checkboxes.
2. Clicking "See more" shows a bunch of items that do not match the current search and filters. There is no way to page through the ones that do match the current search and filters.
3. "Reports you voted for" should be a regular filter option. You may want to see reports you voted for, for a specific game. Or reports you voted for, for the BGA web site.
If you agree, please click on that link and vote for the suggestion.
I know other people have reported parts of this, sometimes as part of another report, and sometimes in a post that is specifically about "issues I voted for" even though the problems they wrote about are broader than just that. And because of the poor search & filter feature, it's hard to find all of those past reports :/
Hopefully by posting a new clear straightforward suggestion for this, and linking it from this forum, we can get more attention for it. If people click and vote for it!
