The beta Advanced Search is a significant improvement over the current standard search and should be considered as the primary/default search experience going forward. The filtering depth and flexibility make it much more useful for discovery and research.

One feature that would greatly improve it further is the ability to exclude games that a user has already categorized in their personal lists.

Proposed feature:
Add filters (or a simple toggle) to exclude games marked as:

• Want
• Playing
• Played

Example use case:
When searching with specific filters (e.g., release date range, genre, platform), results often include many games the user has already logged. This makes it harder to discover new titles. Being able to exclude these would allow users to focus purely on unseen or unexplored games.

Why this matters:

• Improves discovery by removing already-known games
• Makes Advanced Search more effective for backlog building
• Reduces friction when working with large libraries or datasets
• Aligns search functionality with how users actually track games on IGDB

Optional implementation idea:
This could be implemented as a checkbox group or toggle within Advanced Search (e.g., “Exclude my lists”).
