Would this help even be wanted?


Recommended Posts

Hello, I am a big fan of the website for years now, but as others on the forums have said having some ability to search the text in the magazines would be nice.

 

While not actually a solution for that, I have a acute interest in going through and indexing at least all games mentioned in the issue and perhaps the writers or articles?

Would this be something the site would want? I could just leave it as a comment on the magazine, so it wouldn't be and back end work done.

If this is something the site would be interested in, is there any formatting the staff would like it to be organized in?

Indexing is already a thing.  If you'd like to help, you go to that issue's database page and click edit.

Here's an example of a fully indexed issue:
