Star Tropics and Star Tropics 2 don't show up when doing a search for movies on the main site. Similarly, the Star Tropics submission doesn't show up when searching for submissions, though Star Tropics 2 does. Maybe someone should fix this. Also, it might be good if there was a stickied topic for reporting small issues like this.

The game is called StarTropics. Not Star Tropics. There's no space in either game's title. Putting a space in the title is wrong. edit: uh, and as such, StarTropics 2 needs renaming.

I didn't know that. How interesting. The problem still exists, though.

Maybe the searching system could have some error tolerance, similar to google? I don't mean it has to use the same algorithm as the family feud game, but for example whitespaces could be optional. (The results could be ordered at some priority on how much the result differs from the search string, eg. how many whitespaces had to be removed or added.)

There is. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?name=startropics As for the Search bug, I have no idea. Maybe a developer has to look into it some day.
