Hello, I like either options 2 or 3. Option 2 would be good for what I think of as a general search like if I wanted to find all games in a particular genre that would work. Option 3 I kind of think of it as being more specific, like if I'm looking for specifically windows games, or Linux games, or Android games, and then can take it by game type.
I'm also in favor of a database-driven query approach, takes out the hard coding and lets the end user search per their own preference. Hth Dave.
