This has been buggine me for a while already: the MP search box behaves very differently from the in-game Beatmap Search.

At the moment, the MP search seems to only respond to Room Title, Artist, Song Title and Difficulty, not the Tags. Say if I want to look for a Touhou room and I type "Touhou" into the MP Search this is what I get:


But when I change the keyword to "Lunatic":


As you can see from the example, the MP search function did not recognise Touhou tags (unlike the main search box in the client). The MP search function will be a lot more useful with the Tags capability imo.

EDIT: Changed Title texts for better description + minor edits. Original Title: "Multiplayer (MP) Search Same Capability as Beatmap Search"

This would require data on every map that is being played in multiplayer. While this may be possible for maps you have locally (but will add a processing overhead), it is simply not possible for maps you don't yet have, for now.

I kinda got an idea out of this...why not making some kind of tags for multiplayer games (also, at first only "invisible" for players) which would take the tags from the currently selected map? So people could search for these tags, like mentioned in the OP, and find the games then.

// Somehow I realized that this just sounds as the request mentioned in the OP.

Actually that's how I imagined that the idea in the OP can be implemented. I assumed that the current mp search box works by caching all the available room name titles + song/artist/diff texts for searches. If this is the case, would it be possible to "cache" the map tags too? Will this have significant impact on performance?

I have no idea how the architecture works (and no CSE background) so my assumptions could be totally off :P

I'll be quite happy too if you can get it working with locally existing maps (if you're ok with the overhead) :)

EDIT: I might edit the Request Title later since advanced parameter search (eg AR>7) is not required as part of this.

Anything can be done, but the process involved is large. All i'm saying is it ain't a simple one.

Thanks for clarifying, I understand that you have to juggle a lot of tasks at hand with limited resources. Hopefully we'll see more support for this idea to justify for its implementation!
