Staying on top of the games
(06.07.2007, 11:34:04) More and more browser games are released every day. Trying to stay on top of the games and to know the market can turn out to be a real banana problem. But Galaxy-News already has a feature to help you finding your perfect game.
The purpose of this tutorial is to guide you through the process of setting up a search agent and thereby maximizing the useful information you can get.
The first thing you need to set up a
search agent for your account is obviously an account. It might be worth
mentioning that Galaxy-News is completely free-of-charge and is already used by
players all over the world. 
An account can be registered here.
Once you
have an account and you are logged on, you move your cursor over the Games category within the main navigation.
Click on the first option (Find a
Game) and simply set the main (and additional) filters however you like them.
The person
in our example likes playing strategy
games set in the present time and looks
for 5000-10000 other players.
After setting English as the only allowed language he proceeds by clicking the Refresh button on the bottom of the page.
Once this is done a general search has been set up, that is now searching our games directory for games that are already matching your preferences. This would in our case be Capix Warfare and Weewar.com.
We continue by pressing the Set up Search Agent button which lets an extra field appear on the screen.This shows us the preferences we set within the search and lets us
pick a name for our search agent. We chose Example Search.
Done! It’s that easy to set up your search agent! You will now get send an email every time a new game that matches your settings is added to our games directory.
To maintain or delete the search agent click on “my Page” on the top navigation, which will get you to your user page.
Next to the main profile features such as your personal Blog, the picture gallery and your guestbook there are additional options if you move your cursor over the arrow. To see your personal search agent choose the first option and an overview over all your search agents will appear on your screen.
