The engine works so well I wish it could be a part of the GOG site itself! :)

I love Magog, as it's so lightweight, aside from the many options! In order to even begin to use GOG's search function, you'd need too access the "Browse Games" section, and that tends to clog up the browser a bit.

I was wondering, if it's possible to sort out the results? Like, imagine, if the genre button up at the top was clickable, clicking on it would re-list the games by first genre, instead of alphabetical order.

This is just a thought though! I can imagine such a thing tough to implement.

Yes, of course.
At the bottom of the Engine form there is a section titled "Order (how to sort the games selected; default is by ascending title)", under which there are 3 optional sorts (most people need just one), each with numerous sorting options.

This kind of re-sort, however, is not available. The reason for that is:
- Currently all the sorting (based on the above-mentioned options) is done on the MaGog server before sending the results to your browser.
- If we want to re-sort the results after they are already in your browser, we need to have the sorting logic also in the client (i.e. in the browser). That means that I basically need to have two instances of code that can perform the sort and every change to one instance needs to be reflected in the other. It's called code duplication and it's a good recipe for mistakes.

But what you ask for is definitely something that would be convenient and useful. This is one of the reasons why the results of every search are displayed in a new window.

What I do is:
- I run some search.
- Then if I want to see the results in a different order, I just close the results window (Ctrl-W), which automatically returns me to the engine page, with all the parameters of the search still intact
- I then make one change to the order (e.g. sort by genres) and rerun the search (Ctrl-Enter)

Since I'm an experienced MaGog user, it probably takes me no more than 3 seconds to do it all. Admittedly, not as trivial as having a button at the top of column, but probably good enough.

Hope this helps and thank you for the kind words.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Version 2.5.0 has been released with the following features:
* Added the ability to transfer the list of GOG games you own and/or have wishlisted from GOG to MaGog (to do so, use the "Get From GOG" button)

Question: Is there a way to search for a specific game or keyword?

Glancing at the configuration of MaGoG it's not apparent...
I mean i see fields, and sorting options, but when i searched for Sacred 2 regarding the release date i had to go to game listing 586 or something rather than it be one of the 5 listings it probably could have been....


edit: Nevermind, clicking on the filters it came up...

Great addition!

Great feature, but:
- does it overwrite ALL games' "wishlist" and "owned" tags, leaving the other untouched?
- please ad some confirmation popup, if it's there already (not tried yet).

No. It COMPLETELY DELETES all your existing tags before getting the data from GOG.
It's not intended for someone like you, who's already done the manual work.
It's intended for newcomers (with no real existing tags) who are too busy to transfer the information from GOG manually.
It's supposed to be a one-time starting point operation, after which information can be manually maintained in MaGog.

If there's enough interest, I will "improve" the feature to merge the GOG data with existing tags. I couldn't see much point for such a feature, but as always I may have been wrong.

And, yes, of course there is a confirmation popup, very similar to that found in "Import My Fields".

P.S. It does not touch your date/stars/price fields.

P.P.S. If you see a scenario where you might find this feature useful, let me know and I will modify it to suit your needs.

Just wanting to drop a HUGE THANK YOU for the time and effort you put into making this great search engine! Keep up the great work, it is really appreciated :)

Which game?
If you hover your mouse over the row number for that game, you can see its ID.
I'm guessing it's 1207664853 (Divinity: Original Sin).
That's the only game that changed its ID.

I added code that fixes the ID change (in version 2.3.2), but it runs only once.
Perhaps what happened is:
- You exported your fields with the old ID before MaGog version 2.3.2
- You used version 2.3.2, MaGog fixed the ID
- You imported your fields with old ID and it's stuck there

Anyhow, there's a very simple way to make this null wishlist item disappear:
- Just change the tag for that line from "wishlisted" to no tags (i.e. click on "Tags:" + ctrl-click on "wishlisted" + click "Done").
- If you have any other fields on the same line, you need to empty them too.

Magog was unable to identify the following "owned" games:
- vanishing of ethan carter 1 dlc the
- witcher 3 wild hunt the

Pasted it here because your website told me to. ;)
I assume it doesn't work because the games aren't released yet(?)

Thank you very much. Fixed. Did not change the MaGog version number.

- "Vanishing" wasn't identified because for some reason it does not include the words "special edition" (as it does in the catalogue and the wishlist).
- "Witcher 3" wasn't identified because (more understandably) it does not include the word "preorder" (as it does in the catalogue and the wishlist).

You have helped improve MaGog, which entitles you to three (3) cookies. Enjoy.

QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT:

- I am disabling MaGog's automatic database update for a while, until I rewrite significant portions of it to handle the new GOG page format. I hope to make the necessary updates in two weeks' time (as this weekend I am on holiday).
- This means that the game information on MaGog will be frozen in time to the state it was a few hours ago. New games, new sales and new information will not be reflected in it.
- Also note that the "Get From GOG" feature will display some comic error messages due to GOG's menu changes (these messages I may be able to fix in a day or two). Nevertheless, it seems to work OK.
- Everything else should work as normal.

Seems resonable.
Hopefully GOG will fix\add something in the meantime.
Good holiday : )

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Version 2.5.4 has been released with the following features:

* Temporarily disabled MaGog's daily database updates until I rewrite large portions of its code to handle the new GOG look (hopefully, no more than a couple of weeks)
Note: Until I do, MaGog's information will remain frozen in time, reflecting GOG's state as it was shortly before the change (Wed, Aug 27 2014, 12:07:25 GMT).

* Made minor changes to the "Get From GOG" feature to minimise the number of spurious warnings produced as a result of the new GOG look
Note: Until I finish the rewrite, expect the feature to be unable to identify new games, as well as a dozen or so games whose name GOG has changed as part of the new look.
