    Can we have better TC search options?

    With the extra 1 gazillion retro tracks TC has been filled with all by the same "FusionShared" uploader, which I'm glad is happening, we desperately need to have better search options to take advantage of this situation. Otherwise a huge amount of these tracks won't ever be played by anyone.

    I'd suggest the following if this is possible.

    -possibilty to search for tracks containing a specific word. (example: Kalzzone has included "-track name-[K8]" in pretty much all of his tracks but searching for [K8] won't give any results., because it only searches for tracks beginning with the first word.)

    -possibility to search for tracks NOT containing specific words. (example: Mytrack, do I need to say more?)

    -search by date. (I understand all the retro tracks are being added continuously, but it would certainly decrease the amount of the max 143 pages if you could filter it by 12hr/24hr/48hr/week/month.)

    -search by amount of downloads and/or likes or percentage likes

    -search by tags. (looking for ninjas would be more convenient)

    This is all I can think of at the moment, but feel free to add.


    I hope these kind of filters are possible to add into the search.

    Hello Rishaan,

    Thanks for the feedback. While I agree with you this improvements would be great, it's something we can't do as we don't have the necessary resources available. However, we'll take that into account for the next games.

    However, on one hand we can look for what we can do outside of the game that may help and on the other hands, some users found different tricks to find the tracks they wanted (youtube search to get the name, the threads from builders on the forum, PleikkaDude's twitter for non PS4 players, etc...) That allows to narrow down the research to a name even if it is not very efficient.

    Cheers,

    En0, thanks for the quick reply. Too bad it can't be done. Nothing to do about it other than using the alternatives you mentioned.

    Rishaan, you made a good valid point. So, there are 20,000+ tracks to be retro platformed...yet no way of properly accessing them....got it Redlynx. Well done

    Unicorn, mp launched 10 months in, and now this. The hat trick.

    I love trials, but good lord.
