Apologies if this has been discussed before somewhere or is zxdb related (I did have a half-arsed look)...
I like the 'random title' feature. I was wondering if it was possible to incorporate the various advanced search filters as well?
For example, if I wanted the SC search to pick me a random graphic adventure from 1986:
I think it works with just 'year', but not with Genre.
It'd be nice to use 'genre', as it always seems to return 1986 Speccy utility software to play with, which isn't quite as much fun...

Hi [mention]Morkin[/mention]
Just as a short update, I can confirm that Title, Year and Language work on Random Search. Nothing else does sadly.
So I can enter 'Dizzy' in the Title, 2005 in the Year, and 'Russian' in the Language and that returns in my case Dizzy Forever from 2005 with Russian Language.
Finding why the other filters are not working will take more time, but it's what I'm working on currently.

No worries - thanks for investigating..!
Not a biggie really, just a 'nice to have'..

Evening [mention]Morkin[/mention]
Genre, Machine Type, Publisher and Author should all now be working in addition to the ones mentioned last night. Could you do me a favour and test please?
I tried:
Publisher: Codemasters
Genre: Arcade Game: Adventure
Year: 1990
Which worked OK.
Still issues with 'Is Crap', 'Mod' & 'Source Code' but ignore that for now.
I'm off now to have my dinner before 'Death in Paradise' - I'm so rock and roll!
Thanks

Sorry for the short delay, was busy last night as I was out scoffing tandoori chicken and drinking cobra lager.
Genius..! Tried a few and it seems to work well.. Thanks..!
Noticed that for some reason I can't select the Random radio button on the mobile version of the site (full version is fine though) but that might be my dodgy android phone. Was using Chrome. Don't know if anyone else gets the same thing, might just be me.

No worries. I love a good curry too!
Yes, oddly I noticed the issue you are experiencing this morning too. Hopefully we can sort that soon. It's apparently a CSS issue and [mention]4thRock[/mention] has given me some pointers.
