The search feature in browse maps is not working.

It works for the first screen only.
Once you select different size, players etc then the list returned is always empty regardless of the search text.

Also the search dialog is titled send. Can you change it to search if you're in that area.

The issue is you need to always hit search every time after you change the size or player.

Hmm this seemed to be 100% reproducible last night, but it seems there is some more subtly to the bug I am trying to report. I will investigate further and get some proper steps.

Having to reapply the search each time is really annoying I agree, but I did know that (and have reported it before).

There is some weird stuff going on in the browse maps menus and i was searching for my own map to find out what size it is listed as.

This is all in the browse maps screen.
- first change the rating to 1000+
- then show the extra text for the selected map
- tap down the list of maps until there is some descriptive text
- search for a piece of text from the description e.g. 1 map has the typo ennemy
- no maps are shown in the list

- next select medium maps
- change the search text to spiral, 3 maps are displayed
- change the rating to 1600
- all 3 disappear
- cycle through all the map sizes back to medium
- reapply the search
- 1 map now appears (it's my map is that important? )
- change the rating back to 1000
- now only 2 maps appear. Mine has gone
- cycle through the sizes again and reapply the search
- now there are 3 again.

Similar things happen with rating or terrain type. You can cycle through the player numbers and reapply the search to reset things.

Searching for rated is also broken. My map is rated but if you only look for rated maps you cannot find it. I can't seem to find any other examples of that though but it is tricky to search for.

Overall it makes for a very unsatisfactory user interface.

All I want to be able to do is view ALL maps of any size. Guessing on a map size to find the one you are looking for but can't remember the name is really dumb. Show me ALL 4 player maps... not just the medium 4 player maps

Agreed with this last comment. Or at least make just 2-3 possible sizes. Five is too many.

Viewing all maps is probably going to be quite a change to the code. It downloads summary files by size. Also it is not very scale-able. There is a REST API in the pipeline somewhere, that combined with a rewrite of this UI would be best but I'd be happy enough if the bugs that were introduced by the recent changes were fixed.

Minor further niggle with the browse maps UI. Why isn't there a play button on a map?

Currently if you browse maps and find something you'd like to play then you now need to remember it, come back out of there, go to the setup game menu, click the folder, search back through browse maps and select it.

This is currently the best work around as far as I can tell.

However, it doesn't mean the map search isn't badly broken and in need of repair..... it really is.. and it really does.

You are right. I should use the favourite option more, but that's still 6 clicks to get from 2 players to favourites. and you still have to go back out and go to the setup custom game screen first.

Seems easy to add that button in this menu as it appears in many other places.
