      Hello,

      I have seen several threads in this forum requesting a system-wide-search for games on a retropie (esp. for attrac mode).
      At this very moment, a search is only showing results for the gamelist of the system being selected.

      Would it not be great to search for e.g. "Bombjack" and get a result window with all "Bombjack"-Versions for any system you own ?
      And then being able to launch the game right out of the result window ?

      The threads I've found here have never been answered with a solution for this.

      SK

          @SutterKane That's not possible with the way EmulationStation currently works, but there are some very smart people looking into doing a complete overhaul of the way tags and filters work in ES, so this would be one of the things possible once it's done. No word on time frame though.

          My ES themes: MetaPixel | Spare | Io | Indent

              I made a little cross system search screen. It can be found here: https://github.com/pariziv/es-search-games
