Provide tooltips help on Advanced search page

[cholmcc]

The various input fields on the advanced search page should provide help via tooltips

• Full text: Search for projects where the game title or README section contains one or more of the words
• Publisher: Search for projects related to games published by specific publisher or publishers. Search is limited to known publishers (auto-completed).
  • BTW, shouldn't this field allow for search for more than a single publisher? E.g., Victory Games or SPI?
  • Perhaps add a link to A list of all publishers
• Number of players:
  • Minimum: If Inclusive is enabled, then game minimum and maximum players must be smaller or equal and larger and equal, respectively to the entered number. If Exact is enabled, only match games with exactly the entered minimum number of players.
  • Minimum: If Inclusive is enabled, then game minimum and maximum players must be smaller or equal and larger and equal, respectively to the entered number. If Exact is enabled, only match games with exactly the entered maximum number of players.
  • Inclusive: Match number of players that cover the entered range.
  • Exact: Match number of players that exactly match the entered range.
• Tags: Search for projects tagged with one or more tags. Search is limited to known tags (auto-completed).
  • Perhaps consider this to allow for free-hand text. A user may want to search for something like operational but not know what to prefix that by.
  • You could also add a link to A list of all tags
• Project owners: Search for projects owned by any of the listed owners (by user name)
  BTW, searching for multiple owners is broken - just like Multi-tag, -owner, and -player search gives weird results game-library-service#6
• Players: Search for projects played by one or more named (by user name) players. Only known users can be searched for. Auto-complete on user and real names.

Whether these should be implemented as hover-over tooltips or as pop-ups via a ? button is a matter of preference. I think I lean toward the ? button style.

Yours,
Christian

This is a frontend issue. I'm moving it there.
