Search Game Notes

📋 Summary

Expand LaunchBox’s internal search functionality to include the Notes field of each game. This would allow users to quickly locate titles based on custom notes or annotations they’ve added — not just by the game’s name or metadata.


🎯 Feature Overview

  • Extend search indexing to include the Notes field stored for each game.

  • When searching, LaunchBox should:

    • Return results where the search term appears in the game’s Notes.

    • Optionally highlight matched terms in the Notes section of results.

  • Add a small “Include Notes” checkbox in the search bar or filters to toggle this behavior.


🛠 Example Use Case

  • A user has written in their Notes:

    “Requires patch v1.2 to fix save bug.”

  • Searching for “patch” or “save bug” would return that game, even though those terms aren’t in the title or metadata.


📦 Benefits

  • Better discoverability of user-entered notes and details.

  • Improved organization for users who annotate their collections.

  • Consistency with other searchable fields, making LaunchBox’s search more powerful overall.
