Game on IGDB cannot be found by searching.
I have a problem with a game that is not found in the search - https://www.igdb.com/games/ete I tried to enter: "Été", "été", "ete", as a result I had 3 games, but not this one. Possible solution - allow to search by game id. For example, if I write in search field "igdbid=118265" it will return this game in result. Perhaps implement it for other media types as well.
Similar issue with these bundles: https://www.igdb.com/games/heroes-of-might-and-magic-ii-gold https://www.igdb.com/games/heroes-of-might-and-magic-iii-complete
I'd kinda noticed this as well, but hadn't dug into it too much. Appears to be an issue with the IGDB API. Doing a manual search against it for a variety of names doesn't seem to return those specific results either, but searching by id certainly does work.
It seems like it's a known issue since at least 2020, as improving/fixing IGDB API search is the top most voted request on their uservoice. Unfortunately, the last response (in 2020) was "not currently being worked on".
@ramebd This is why adding options to enter igdbid manually can be a very good solution. You can just find the game on the web and get the id.
I'd love to work on this issue, many games can't be imported at all, and the fix seems do-able. Probably need to wait for the rewrite though.
