I just want it to work more like the website.

Just leaving this comment here to prevent people from bumping this old thread.

We revamped search in this version of the app /updates/itch-app-bundle-support-launch-args-and-more

  • The native sidebar app search results are only for searching within your library now
  • Any other search queries to can be opened in the in-app browser on the main site search

can you tell whats the diffference?

When I search for some items it shows me completely different items, (Searched Mario Saw Megaman Space Or Sonic Smackdown). Or because I can't use the overview of items and creator and jams I can only use the list and select games on the list.

I agree that the search in the itch app is terrible. I wish it would bring up a results page so I don't have to search for a game word for word. Instead, I have to manually type the search URL into the top bar.

Same.

hahha i dont think its been updated in years

Yeah, probably not. The thing that annoys me is that all they have to do is just append the search text to "itch.io/search?q=" and then it works like the website.

one year and three months. did they just abandon the application's development?

Yay they fixed it!

I just want it to work At All. Currently it shows NO results, not even partial matches 

Is that on the latest release of the app?
