Valve just made Steam search much more useful
Starting today, it should be easier to find what you’re looking for on Steam. When you type something in the main search field on the Steam web store or desktop or mobile apps, the suggestions will include tags, developers, publishers and franchises if it seems like there’s a good match.
For instance, type in “Sony” and you may see the PlayStation Studios publisher page among the suggestions. Punch in “free” and the quick results could include the free-to-play tag and the Freedom Games publisher page. If you want to see all the Final Fantasy or Star Wars games on Steam, you should be able to access those franchise pages more quickly from the search panel.
Valve has rolled out another handy update to search, which should now be more forgiving of typos. That should come in useful if you’re looking for a game but can’t quite remember how to spell it or you simply mistype a word. Steam will know what you’re looking for if you type “Call of Doo,” for one thing. While these updates are overdue and welcome, they could help Valve empty out more of your wallet when the Steam summer sale rolls around.
Sony and Microsoft also made useful updates to their game storefronts recently. Xbox’s PC app now enables you to look for games based on accessibility features and estimated playtimes. Last month, Sony added accessibility tags to PS4 and PS5 games on the PlayStation Store.
