While looking through the James Bond movie quizzes recently it occurred to me that it would be helpful if there was an available method of accessing all of the Bond quizzes lumped together in list pages of 25 or 30 quizzes at a time rather than having to go in and out of the 20 or 30 individual movie topics one at a time. I'm sure there are other similar sub-categories out there in literature and music especially where this would be useful for GM members to find non-completed quizzes in fragmented sub-categories cases. It is just a suggestion for future consideration, of course.

Happy Quiz Access Trivia!

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could you clarify a bit, please?

Would not just using "James Bond" in the Search box do that for you?

On second reading, not sure what you mean by "non-completed" quizzes. My idea wouldn't work for offline quizzes, of course, if that is what you mean.

I read 'non-completed' as meaning quizzes that the searcher has not yet already taken. The Search box only gives you a list of the top 30 (or so, from memory) matches. It definitely does NOT give you everything. I remember from doing the Impossible challenge that you couldn't just enter Impossible and get your list of possible quizzes, only a certain number of matches. That is why you had to develop creative search entries to get up different lists of possibilities.

Ah, yes, "unplayed" then. You can vary the search terms, though, to pull up different quizzes.

The Search box also doesn't filter out those you have already played, so if you were interested in James Bond quizzes that you hadn't already played, entering James Bond is likely to give you about 30 that you have played, assuming you're keen. Other combinations similarly give a different selection, but includes quizzes that have been played as well as those that have not.
