Useful Videogame Searching & Sorting Functionality
The ability to extensively search for games based on multiple criteria including but not limited to: Genre, Release Date, MetaScore/ReviewScore, Platform, Developer, Publisher.
Pick any reputable online computer parts store (tiger direct, new egg, zip zoom fly, cdw, etc), you can search their database of purchasable products a million ways and find EXACTLY what you are looking for... the SAME level of search functionality NEEDS to be implemented on IGN.
Some Basic Examples:
1) I want to chronologically list all First Person Shooter PC games based on release date for the years 1999 to 2009
2) I want to see…741 votesThis is being considered so vote for it if you want it!

My Games/Game Review Filter option
I would like to be able to add games to my profile that I own and games that I have played, then add a new filter option to game reviews to NOT display any of "My games" so when I am thinking of purchasing a new game and want to read a review, I don't have to sort back through games I've already played or purchased.

searches often come up with no results since the layout change. Even for games I know exist or just a word of a game.

Create a desktop gadget for a searching a game without opening the site
Being a software engineer, I can tell you that creating a desktop gadget for searching games isn't difficult. All you need is a server page, which will return me the proper needed information. If IGN can provide me with a server page, that returns me the searched results, along with their boxshot links, review links and the link to the game on the site, I can create a Windows Desktop Gadget/Google Chrome Extensions for doing the same.

Multiplayer Search Engine
It would be nice if IGN had a multiplayer search engine. One that would allow people to search specifically for multiplayer games, be it an MMO, Co-ops, or any multiplayer feature. I frequently enjoy gaming with friends and its hard to find new games for us all to play because there is no real site that has a specific list of mulitplayer games. The list could consist of categories: MMO, 2 person multiplayer, 3, and so on. The list will help you find games that will allow you to find games of that specific multiplayer play style you are looking…

Games missing in search
I've been looking for games to watch the reviews for, but many of them (even ones I'd seen previously) just don't exist. They're still there if I look on Google for them, but when I try to search for them on IGN, they don't come up. This has happened with The Prince of Persia and Kingdom Hearts so far, but I'd like to be able to find all the games possible, not just some.

Search
You need to vastly improve your search facility. For instance, I was looking for "Kingdoms of Amalur", but couldn't remember how to spell Amalur, so I typed "Kingdoms of Am" in the hope that it would fill in the blanks. Your results page brought up 53 pages, the first option was "Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light Guide (Nintendo DS)". Useless.

Your Search Blows
Rarely have I tried to do a search for a specific article on IGN, and I'm glad that this is so, or I'd have killed myself long ago. I was trying to find an article about an Apple event that the IGN staff were invited to (August 7, I believe) And trying to find it is damn near impossible. I don't want to have to endlessly click a button on the bottom of main pages to see more stories to load news. You ought to be able to click a news only tab and view all news stories on IGN's…

Improve the browsing of a search's results
When browsing a search's results and shift to the next page, we're not brought back to the top of the page. So we need to scroll to the top of the page, and then back to the bottom...Not very effective.
You could either bring us back to the top of the page or add the buttons to change pages on the top of the results too.

Let's us help you to add game that you didn't add on your own because you didn't know them or didn't take the time for it like mmo or collector edition or simply add a picture for the game case.

Searching
Searching for stories and games is a bit bland and boring when. It would be cool when I search God of War 3 the results would be boxes. A box for Videos about GoW3, stories about GoW3, pictures, etc.

search box fix
make it so that instead of showing a game 3 different times when you search for it you only see it once with three links underneath the title to either go to pc, ps3, xbox 360

Strange notification occurence.
I've noticed that every time I paste text in the search bar, when it comes up it shows a small envelope symbol next to the Newsfeed and My Stuff tabs. Whenever I don't paste text and simply type and then search this does not happen.
