Collections would be great if there was any way to find them

If I'm missing something, please tell me, but as far as I can tell, the only way to see other people's public collections is:

- your feed (you see if someone you follows adds something to one of their collections

- a few "related collections" on the left side of the browse page

However, and I may be missing something, there's no way to:

- see all the public collections someone has made

- see what collections something is in

- search for collections (as far as I can tell, they aren't in any search results)

- save someone's collection (like a bookmark or adding it to a collection of you own) so you can easily go back to it later


If there are ways to do any of the above, they need to be much easier to find/do. Collection search and saving features like this would be such a nice way to find and curate stuff so others could more easily find it, it pains me that the functionality isn't here.

Collections are shown when browsing by pretty much any combination of tags and other criteria. Not in searches, because search is optimized for finding specific games, so it would make no sense. And you can see those collections people chose to make public, on their creator profile. Hope this helps.

It does not: I tried to browse for collections as per what you said and I can only see 5-6 “related collections” for physical gaes, which is far from useful for finding or bookmarking collections, which would be a useful feature to navigate the “Physical games” space, like jams often are.
