Hi everyone!

I want to know what search parameters are SG using for finding GAs.

So far i've been using 3, all of them skipping -5P giveaways and starting from LVL 3.

LVL 3, 2 Copies minimal and +5P only
LVL 6, +5P only
LVL 5 and 6, +5P only

That's it, nothing to add... If the winds blows straight i wish to make some GAs to illustrate this thread.

Xablau!

It was useful?

I hide games I don't want, buy / enter (and hopefully win) most of what I want from the bundes, so the remaining 1, rarely 2 pages of giveaways do not require further filters :)
(and despite that, I do think that this topic will have some value for others)

Same here. I have only 8 games on my SG 1-st page :)

Pretty much the same. Wishlist pretty much covers it, I'm always shocked if there's 2 pages.

SOMEtimes I look at recommended, but it's rare there's anything I'll actually enter. I don't find I need to make a bunch of filters.

Typically, I'm only relying on basics:

https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?type=wishlist
https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaways/search?type=new

Sadly, you still can't combine the two parameters.

hi! i'm a little bit in a rush but no problems at all =P
for the hidden games, I've 5000+ games hidden since I enter only giveaways with trading cards or achievements and so tons of them don't have these features =P (I think this is positive for all the users since this means - way more giveaway for everyone if I buy bundles or keys! XD)
for my search queries, here they are in succession:

sometimes anyways of course I also browse level 7 giveaways or other things, but I like these ones =) I don't mind about the points needed since I often love (and review) the "small" / indie games too =P

Are those parameters you set in the ESGST extension, or something else?

It's something you have to do manually to URL, but helpful.

If you use ESGST it will have a search bar for you on the main page

Aside from wishlist and recommended, the only search I do is.

I'm a mac user, so there is a smaller catalogue of games obviously. The upside to that is that "most" shit games do not work on the platform. It's mostly windows-only asset flip trash, so not missing out on much. Sure, there are many decent windows games given away too and I would get WINE working for those if I really, REALLY wanted them, but right now, not too concerned about that. I have a tendency to go "Oh the effort" when it comes to WINE, when I have so many compatible games to play already, so quite happy to plod along with games that work without it. XD.

I don't actively seek stuff to put on my wishlist, so sometimes I discover new games via steamgifts, so filtering by wishlist wouldn't work for me. ^^

Only "Hide games you manually filtered?".
That brings the amount of giveaways to under 2 pages.

What!? I had no idea you could search with parameters outside the app. Thank you so much!

I love the above 5 points search criteria and then I manually hide a lot of games as others do.
