LittleBigPlanet adds new search functionality


While scrolling across a patch-covered Earth still isn't the most effective way of finding well-built stages in LittleBigPlanet, Media Molecule recently added a few new options to make the "Text" search functionality a bit more ... functional. For instance, you can now search for words in a level title by adding a $ before the search term (as in $Joystiq). You can also search for a specific word by putting single quotes around a search term -- a search for 'Joystiq' will no longer bring results of "Joystick", "Toy's Trick" or the infinitely unsettling "Roy Licks."

Similarly, you can use quotation marks to search for specific phrases, like "Extreme Duck Race Version 2.0". However, the most welcome addition is the ability to search for a specific author using an "@", as in @QuincyBoi13. You can use any combination of these new search functions to get more specific results -- of course, in order to do so, you have to know what you're searching for.
