Search Exclude Games from Search

[Omniban]

I personally love the new layout, but I think it could use one major improvement. Many people like to play games based on how good the mods for them are, but its hard to do that with everything being the top 20 or so games on the site. You can currently, if you take the huge time needed, slowly add every game but the ones you don't want to the game bar, and get this effect but that takes forever. I think having an exclusion filter for games like we have for tags would be a massive improvement, and shouldn't take too long to implement.

We are experimenting with a new homepage that only shows mods for your favourite games by default. Would that help with your suggestion?

[Omniban]

kind of? I would really like an exclude as this would help me find new games, and also IIRC, there is a cap on your games.

I would also like to support this!

I often browse the newest mods to see wich games might be interesting to pick up based on the available mods, but I often run into the issue that the results are flooded with Skyrim mods.

The favourite-list is nice, but it wouldn't really help me much since I usually look for games I didn't have on my radar yet...

Yes PLEASE!

As Omniban pointed out, a lot of us would like to pick up a new (unknown) game but want to see if it has a lot of mod support.  You can search "All Games" for content, but you currently can't exclude.  The problem with this is that if you search on a subject 99% of results will be the same 2-3 games so the results aren't useful in this case.  e.g. if I search for something in all games, I will get results that show 199/200 are for skyrim, cyberpunk, fallout4, baldurs gate, but I want to find a new (to me) game.

It seems like it would be simple to add a simple exclude function, which most search engines do.  e.g. add a -skyrim or -cyberpunk or whatever game you would like to exclude.
