Skip to specific page number I want

[Likealokey]

In Steam Search

Instead of keep clicking on next page again and again
Why not just skip a few?

For Example:
< 1 ... 33 34 35 36 37 ... 46 >

In between the page number there is these "triple dots"
Once click it it will show a blank space need to fill in any numbers to skip to whatever page it takes me

Page selection I can type in number which I want to see

I've always wanted this.

Thing I dislike about almost every product with pages.

Yep, this would be a big improvement.

Though, I'm not too torn up over the lack of this feature either. The current way of doing it still works one million times better than those "Web 2.0" things that have moved from a pagination system to one that just keeps loading more and more data into the client / browser as you scroll down until the program crashes.

If not being able to choose which page I jump to (without having to mess with URL parameters and then paste a link into a chat for me to click) is the extent of the issue, I'll still be pleased as actually having pages to navigate is WAY better than not having pages at all.

Absolutely yes to this, I can't remember how many times I needed this in searches, especially going back far.

In the meantime, there's a work-around guys.



For the Community Market:
https://steamcommunity.com/market/search?q=good#p2_default_desc

Copy this URL, replace "good" in the url with whatever your search query is
(if it's 1 word - otherwise, you'll need to search normally and then copy and edit your own copy of the URL from the client if you are searching for something that is multiple words & / or if you're using the advanced search options.)

Then replace the number 2 in the URL with whichever page you want to jump to.
Then paste this link into a chat window and click it - if you don't have an appropriate place to do that, you can create your own Steam group and just change the settings to disallow anyone else for joining so you have your own place to dump clickable page-jumping links to.


You can do the same thing with the Store or any other page that actually uses the GET server feature to create a URL that you can tamper with:

https://store.steampowered.com/search/?sort_by=Price_ASC&page=3


Obviously not very intuitive for the average user but it will let you jump to far away pages and is better than nothing.



In the old days, people used to have to manually type in URLs to websites which is why I figured this out, I looked at the URL and thought, "wait a minute... I could just... change what that says then go to that URL instead."

My bad, guys, I shouldn't have shared that link to the store search page last year.
I probably won't do it again.

Links to the Steam store are, apparently, "spam".
Doesn't matter what the title, description, or content of the game or topic is:

Except some idiot in the programming team broke the URL input in steam, so its much more difficult to actually use the URL input bar to input URLs and you know... use it for its actual purpose.

That's why I gave instructions on pasting it into a chat and then clicking the resulting link.

They didn't break anything. It was a design choice.
