Drop-down list for "value" entry when filtering games in BigBox

Issue #4331 new
Former user created an issue

Currently, the way the Field/Comparison/Value filtering menu works in BigBox, you must manually type out a search entry in the "Value" box. Having that kind of open-ended input is useful, but isn't always ideal for browsing. Rather than trying to guess a value that might not exist, I would love to have a drop-down list of all available options.

For example, if I choose "genre" from the field drop-down menu, the value box would automatically fill in with a drop-down menu of all the genres actually referenced in the metadata. This also solves the problem of misspelling or wrong wording in a search. That is to say, if I were to search for "RPG" but have those games labeled as "role-playing" it would return zero results, and I might wrongly assume there were no games in that category.
