We are happy to let you know about improvements to our search pages, that will enhance how you explore, engage with, and find the content you are looking for.
We’ve continued to listen to the feedback shared regarding our search experience, notably, that it was difficult for you to find the content you are looking for, with no clear options to refine results, or make adjustments to your search criteria. Whilst we continue to explore ways to improve the technology our search engine relies on, its inherent complexity has so far led us to deprioritize it amidst our varied focus areas. Nonetheless, we are excited to introduce dynamic filters as a first step in bringing an enhanced experience to search that offers you more control.
Now available on desktop and mobile web (and on our apps in the near future), dynamic filters can be
used on any search you make on the platform.
Refining results to specific retailers or categories, along with price range adjustments and sorting options, we are giving you more control over the content you wish to find. We’ll give you instant adjustments to
your results, allowing you to experiment and adjust criteria based on your needs.
We're thrilled to introduce this new approach to filters that gives you more control over your search and content discovery! We believe it’s just the beginning of an improved search experience and are already considering introducing more filters and other changes. On that note, we're excited to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
Our goal is to enhance how you explore content beyond just search, and your feedback is incredibly valuable in making meaningful improvements that truly matter to our community, so thank you in advance!

sorted byWe default to the most relevant, but there's other options available to choose from. If you have any other sorting options you would like to suggest for the future, I'm happy to hear them
Before you'd need to select this on the filter dropdown whereas now you have all these options available on the same page so you can keep tweaking your results to find exactly what you want.

It defaults to Deals because that is what most use cases of the search would be. I have to be honest and say that I doubt many people search Discussions before asking their question so that is more of a task to educate people to use the search rather than working out whether the search isn't helping them find the content before they post.

HUK would be 100% better experience of you could fit it categories.
Ie if you don't want a PS or XBOX (maybe you've bought one already through here) then removing the gaming category from view would make it better and easier to find what you want..
Yes some deals wouldl slip through and you might miss a deal that was incorrectly labelled, but still better in my opinion
Just seen that there is also finally a date sort too

The fact this thread is 2212° tells me the community is interested in seeing this type of product.
As for your reference to 'got to love those affiliate pounds', Steam does not even have an affiliate program but if your point was intended to extend beyond this merchant, no part of the review of the Publication Rules considered monetisation. It is not the job of the community team to be concerned about how this website makes money.
There are certain brands and mobile networks that just don't do service in my area so would love to avoid any unnecessary results where possible.
I use to be able to see all my activities over the years.
If you need help finding something specific you can drop me a PM, or drop a PM to the shared community team inbox with as much detail as possible.
Maybe you can explain why this function would be helpful for you.
