Whenever I want to file a bug or a feature suggestion, I first want to see if someone has already reported or suggested the same thing, so I search. But if there are more search results than fit on the first page of results, I can't find the rest - when I click "see more" it shows any other bug & suggestion posts for the same game, without paying any attention to the filters I picked and the search terms I used. For example, if I was only looking for feature suggestions, "see more" will show all types of bugs, the majority of which are often not suggestions.

This makes it very hard sometimes to find whether someone else has reported the same problem or made the same suggestion for the same game, and probably leads to duplicates, as well as preventing people from finding and voting for the suggestions they'd like to support.

I filed a bug for this: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=172387

Please upvote that bug, so that we can all more easily find the items we actually want to upvote, and so we post fewer duplicates.

Thank you. I noticed the same things, and it makes managing the bug reports very difficult.
I will upvote your suggestion.
Also, maybe if it displayed more than 20 results (perhaps by allowing us to choose how many results to display, as some searches do)

Not a bad idea - if they did something like that, they'd replace the "load more" button with page forward and back links, like on the other forums, and it would be good if they let you choose how many to show per page.

We'd still want each page to respect the filters and search you entered, even if they did that! So I think these are two separate things, mine is a bug and yours is a feature suggestion.

Just ran into this problem again trying to find a feature suggestion I thought might exist already for a game, so rather than posting a new post about this long-lived problem with the bug/feature form, I'm just going to bump this post up again for people who didn't see it last month. If this problem ever annoys you, or has led you to post a duplicate bug of suggestion, please upvote https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=172387
