Hi leafo, thanks for letting me know!

Sure, here's the query in question: https://itch.io/search?q=victorian

I suppose I was interested more about your use case, not just the query used. Are you looking with something with “Victorian” in the name, or you want to find stuff with that topic?

I was more or less looking for the latter - Victorian-related stuff, which may or may not be in the name or description. For example Victorian-inspired games, assets, comics, etc.

I think this is a perfect example of a use case for a tag. I’ve gone ahead and added a new “suggested tag” so that developers can start tagging their work as “Victorian”. The results page will now suggest you browse that tag as well.

Since itch has free tagging, 70+ games already did have that tag.

For single word searches you might want to consider to insert some short blurb anyways, even especially if there are no suggested tags as a result. It could read similar to "Missing something? Maybe try freestyle tag filtering instead (show tag filter box here)". There are many tags that are used and have many items, but are not in the suggested list.

And that tags are freestyle is not really advertised prominently. I remember a heated discussion where I even was called a liar, for claiming that tags are freely choosable and was quoted the then 14 pages of "all" tags.

Thank you so much for the update! I've tried it out and it's great! I hope the developers will start tagging them so they'll be easier to find in the future. Bless~
