Re-add Mutli Tag Filtering
Please reintroduce multi tag filters. Currently as it stands you can only search for channels with one language tag and one other tag. Previously on pc you were able to search for channels with as many tags filtered as you wanted. This feature was also available on mobile until recently.

I was looking for a Twitch project to work on since I decommissioned the API I was hosting. So I created a stream filter (inspired by CommanderRoot's) that allows you to specify tags. You can do a search for any tag you provide, or you can use the option to force only searching the tags that you include. For example, you can find all live streams that are "English, Horror, FirstPlaythrough". Feel free to provide any feedback.

As a bonus, the site also tracks the top current tags being used on Twitch.

2024. I cant believe the most basic and obvious search functions are missing from most search engines. More erroneous results, does not result in a better search.

Please for simply add this back, I filter by 1 tag and then have to skip over so many streamers in other languages. I need to filter by english and other tags. It's currently so inconvenient.

So, I got tired of waiting for this to happen, and I just made my own tool. You can sort by multiple tags, exclude tags you don't want, and filter by viewer count and lots of other things. The UI is pretty basic at the moment, but I'm improving it all the time! It's at https://www.stream-scanner.com

This is absolutely necessary both for streamer to be able to target their audience and for watchers to find streamers and use the platform more. Please reinstate this feature!

It's odd that they would take a step back in their functionality. Please reinstate this feature. It was very helpful.

This absolutely needs to be re-implemented. Filtering for multiple tags is most of what I would expect to use this feature for.

Why don't you provide search filters?
The usefulness of having an effective search is essential for navigation and does not prevent having automatic suggestions, the two filters present are too restrictive and putting two search bars is a particular choice of web design.
The suggestion is to improve the filters (dates, categories, alphabetical...) and to have only one search bar for the whole web site to have a better user experience and more clarity.Even knowing that it is marketed, to highlight content or collect trends and better sell them to advertisers, this is not a reason to mislead Internet users.

This being taken away directly hurt intersectionally marginalised streamers, I feel. But more than anything else, it helps refine searches for the kind of stream that we want. I can't think of any helpful reason why this would be taken away

Please for the love of God, reintroduce multi tag filters. At least the option to have langauage + another tag!!

The ability to search multiple tags would be wonderful. Pretty sure this was a thing not long ago but it has since gone away.
The ability to search for a certain country, for example New Zealand where I live, and another tag, such as anything else, would enable people to find certain channels easily.
I'm sure that should be more than enough explanation so I'll leave it there :) -

This. Please.
Why on earth was this removed? to improve CPU performance on servers by 0.1%?

vertig0ST commented
its so painful to have to dedicate a tag to a language because we are only limited to one tag

This should be a basic function.
Just joined twitch today and Ive been pulling my hair out looking for something I would like to watch. Removing the ability to search by multiple tags seems like a move against your own audience. Super Big Brain Moment. I'm leaving.
