Any idea how I'm able to search for games with dot-seperated capital letters, like F.E.A.R.? I'm unable to find them using the search field, even when there are giveaways on the frontpage.

FEAR? Or just F and scroll through there?

FEAR w/o the dots won't work, while searching for just an F is pretty useless. Also, it's just an example, there are more games out there, written that way and i don't really want to scroll hundrets of games just to see that there is actually no giveaway :D

You could just use F and then Ctrl+F "F.E.A.R." (on each page ofc), but there might be better way.

Seems to work fine.

Edit: I'm retarded and can't read.

I know you were trying to be funny, but nope - even that won't work. First of all, it's still an exact search (LIKE without wildcards just does exact matching). Secondly, you forgot the dot at the end :P

SELECT name FROM games WHERE name LIKE 'F.E.A.R';

Empty set (0.00 sec)

SELECT name FROM games WHERE name LIKE 'F.E.A.R.';

+----------+

| name |

+----------+

| F.E.A.R. |

+----------+

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

This is how the site searches fear2 (don't work, so you can't with F.E.A.R. same with stalker' but you can use the rest of the title).

Sadly, the search function removes all dots, so there's no way i guess.
