'Cause releases don't show up in the search. They need aliases for that.

Oh, if you type in "Moon" the DS game doesn't automatically show up. So, I think that a good idea would be to put the alias "Moon ds" or "Moon DS" for the game Moon.

God that page is annoying (well the search engine i mean by that) tried adding moon DS, does still not show up. Then i tried MoonDS, no luck either....
Perhaps you can figure something out MB.

It's working fine, it just takes a few minutes to propagate to the search engine once you add something to the alias field.  I changed the alias back to Moon DS, "moonds" isn't going to help anything.  Give it a few minutes before changing it again.

Moon shows up as the third result when you type in Moon DS now.

I don't know if this counts towards this thread, but typing in "The Conduit" doesn't make the game appear.

Looks like a bug.  It shows up if you seach in lowercase or if you just put in Conduit.

Yeah, I knew that. I just was wondering why the "The" was an impediment.

The search hates the word "the".

Hello,

Here are a couple of characters that need aliases. Harley is known in Japan as Harley Q. Mick the Slug is known in Japan as Mick the Nick.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I was also wondering what the site stance is on database items that simply don't show up when searched for, for instance this one: Bat

Unless one somehow finds a link to it it's impossible to find.

Click on the magnifying glass icon and you'll get more detailed search results.

The site stance is that Bat is nearly impossible to search for. ;)
Does Bat have any aliases? Those would definitely help.

That still leaves the problem that you will not be able to link images to that pages or anything else really. You can only add concepts items and characters from his page not to since it will not show up in the search.

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, adding the demon aliases to the DDS characters wouldn't be a bad idea.

They are as follows:

Mick the Slug = Rahu
Harley = Hayagriva
Bat (since I can't search for this, and the link is right above, I hope you'll forgive me if I don't link to this) = Camazotz
Jinana = Usas
Jenna Angel = Hari Hara
Varin Omega = Ravana
Lupa = Cerberus
Serph = Varna
Heat = Agni
Argilla = Prithivi
Gale = Vayu
Cielo = Dyaus
Sera = Varnani

Thanks!

Add "Ace Combat" as an alias for Air Combat, as this was it's Japanese name, and the name used in all the sequels of the game.

A couple of Fire Emblem characters:

Elice - The alias "Ellis" should be added.

Caeda - The aliases "Sheeda" and "Shiida" should be added.

For both of these characters, the aliases refer to English romanizations of their Japanese names as used in Japan, and the alias "Shiida" was used in the U.S. release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl when Caeda appeared in the game as a sticker.  Furthermore, both characters came from the original Fire Emblem game released in 1990, and in that time, the Japanese romanizations/fan translations of their names became commonplace in the west.
