Steam could use better search. Ideally I'd like to be able to just use SQL, but I understand why not.

There's been a few times where I wanted to find something in Steam, but spent most of the emotion on clicks and fucks before launching something, concluding that yeah, I wanted this, and stopping it because I don't want this anymore.

Steam DB has a pretty decent search. It's not SQL but the filters are a bit better.

I know how you feel tho - so few consumer orgs give us an advanced search worth it's salt. I want to have (x AND y) OR z, or maybe x AND (y OR z)... Not whichever specific combination was preordained for me.

I know it's not as horrible as some.

If only this were still a thing in search engines.

I still can't figure out how their search filters work.

It always blocks games with violence whether I have all filters checked or unchecked
