Kickstarter playing cards listing

Unread post by Lotrek »

Kickstarter has created a separate category for playing cards. That's good but the problem is that you cannot anymore find older playing card projects if you search them by writing "playing cards" in the "search" field. You got to find them by the name of the project or the creator or the category they were enlisted. Many projects for example were in "graphic design" category.
That's a bit of a mess...

This still works for me: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/search?term=cards

I always make searches a little more general to catch any misspellings and so on.

A new category is cool though :)

True, most people know it at this point and I've been spreading the word, Aquila (and I think Linnea or Peter will get Hotcakes now that I pointed this out) have or will be moved. Here's what happened: they didn't tell anyone, but when they added the "Playing Cards" category, they also changed the way the searches work, and it uses a 'compiled database' instead of a simple string search like it always did before IF it finds a category name. That's a problem, because you can't "escape" the words to force a string search any more as far as I know - I've tried everything logical and otherwise knowing what the code expects.

That's why Joe's search works but "Playing Cards" in the box like everybody used to do won't. Notice that is you use his link above it even asks "Are you looking for category 'Playing Cards'?".

I was wondering what was going on with KS. They're always messing around with their site.
