As of this time, this is still a problem.
For example, If I search for "Daggan" on the itch.io website, it correctly lists 2 name matches, followed by something related, and then the rest of the results are similarly named things. I shall list the first 10 results below in order;
- Daggan (+18)
- Daggan Pink (+18)
- Card game, prototype (+18) [Also Daggan Related]
- Danganronpa Zero: Memory Lapse
- Dangan GB
- Danganronpa: Dead End
- Danganronpa: Lapse
- Danganronpa: Bursting Love
- danganhell (2013)
- Danganronpa Fanfic (DanganFanfic) v2 - New World Order Prologue (Character...
If I type "Daggan" into the search tool in the Itch client, it lists 16 games that have literally nothing to do with Daggan. I shall list the results from the itch.io client below in order;
- A Dance of Fire and Ice
- CrossCode
- Friendly Bunny Mochi
- Russian Subway Dogs
- Oikospiel Book I
- Tales From Off-Peak City Vol.1
- The Norwood Suite
- Off-Peak
- Betrayal At Club Low
- DLC
- DYO
- Monolith
- DLS
- Monolith (Demo)
- Cube Trains
- The Things We Lost In The Flood
If that was the end of it, I'd merely be annoyed, but to spice things up a bit, if you type "Daggan" into the itch client search bar, it does actually pop up with Daggan! For a moment anyway. After some random amount of time (ranging from half a second to a few seconds), it swaps it out for the botched search again.
But if you then erase a bit of your search and type it back in, the search seemingly fixes itself?!
This seems to be a bug, and it would be great to have it fixed. I know this likely isn't the place to report bugs, so I thought I would put it here.
