No it didn’t. It was horribly slow (you could really feel the lag when typing), typing “nes” or “neo geo” didn’t produce anything like the expected results, and typographical errors (typos) or spelling errors would throw it off completely. There were lots of complaints about the search before.

If all you’re going to do is complain without actually giving a search algorithm that works without introducing other problems, you’re just going to have to wait for someone else to come up with a better search algorithm.
