Hmm, how often does the search database update? Is it instantaneously? for instance, do a search under "sheets" for Ryu. Not one sheet is of the character from Street Fighter. This seems a bit strange to me. Maybe there's some kind of bug in the search? Maybe I'm just an idiot?

MySQL's fulltext indexes only work for words above 3 characters by default. I thought I adjusted that for tSR, guess not.

I do find that strange myself, it also made my wonder how the website primarily functions. If I had to guess, it looks like some parts are PHP driven and others are solid HTML, seems a tad unusual to me, but then again I'm no professional webdesigner.

It's PHP driven, but the site generates static HTML files for pages that don't really change much like indexes to reduce dynamic content.

- Do not reset the checkboxes. It's annoying when you have to remind yourself every time to change the checkboxes if your query has a typo or if you want to try something (slightly) different.

That can be done.

- Do not use an implicit wildcard at the end of a word. Now, entering [man] as the same as entering [man*] (or ['man*']), while I expected the results I get when entering ['man']. (which are also incomplete, as none are shown and games like 'Mega Man' should be there =/)

Use quotes for "exact matches". You can also use +pluses and -minuses to refine your queries.

- Do not reset the search box when no results are found. It usually means you made a typo, and now you have the chance to make the same typo again.

That can also be done.

- Also refill the search box when double quotes ("s) are used.

Not sure if I get what you mean with this one.

- Create a manual (or list of more complex examples) for what type of input results in what kind of search. ie: Only by trial and error I figured out a + in front of a word makes it mandatory. (and by an educated guess that $ seems to match with the end of a word) (^ does not seem to do anything, as all matches are always made from the start anyway)

Yeah, I suppose. Most people don't really use that kind of operators and the ones who do figure them out by themselves, though.

Could you make it so you get less results when you look up, for example, "mario" and "bros" instead of more?

Use +mario +bros or "Mario Bros".
