Media Molecule’s LittleBigPlatformer continues to evolve with today’s added search functionality. You’re now able to search for exact words and terms in level titles, as well as for levels by specific authors. Those two option can even be combined for super search precision.
It’s pretty easy to use these new options, as Mark S. from the Media Molecule blog explains.
"In addition to the Author search (put @ in front of the search word to search by Author) there are now some more new search methods.
Search for words in Level Title only
To search for words in Level Title only, put a $ in front of the search word. For example, to search for levels with ‘Frenzy’ in the Level Title type:
$frenzy
Search for exact words
To search for exact words, use single quotes, like this:
‘frenzy’
This will search ONLY for the word ‘frenzy’ in Level Title and Level Description (so no fonzy, friendzy, fencey, frendy, frondy, fwendy, etc,etc).
Search for phrases only
To search by phrase, say, ‘The Mighty Tower of Ultimate Doom’, use double quotes, like this:
“The Mighty Tower of Ultimate Doom”
This will search only the Level Title & Level Description for exactly that phrase.
Combine Searches
If that’s not enough for you (whaa…!?) you can even combine searches! What do I mean? Well, say I wanted to search for ‘Marks Multi Mega Marvellous Mashing Machine’ by ‘MarkLovesMashing9988′, I’d type in:
$Mashing @MarkLovesMashing9988
Which will search for all levels with ‘Mashing’ in the Level Title that also has ‘MarkLovesMashing9988′ as the author.
Or I could type:
‘Mashing Machine’ @MarkLovesMashing Or $Mashing @Mashing."
Handy, huh? Well, we’re off to browse LBP’s levels with ease. More on LittleBigPlanet (including the PSP version) as it hits.
