You can make your search even more powerful by adding optional search flags to your search query!

Add the flag anywhere within your query. The format of a flag is: flag:parameters
You may use either the actual flag name or a flag's alias (if the flag has an alias).
For boolean flag parameter types, use true, 1, on, or yes to represent true, and anything else to represent false.
For flags with multiple argument inputs, separate each argument input with |
Use as many flags and combinations of flags as you want to customize your search as much as possible to your needs! Please let us know any thoughts/suggestions you may have to make this better.

`unlicensed`[unl]	`unlicensed [boolean]` Whether or not this game release is unlicensed. Can be: `true` or `false`. Unlicensed means not officially supported, endorsed, sponsored, approved, etc by the proper licensee holder(s) (such as a console manufacturer), but was released anyway without their consent/permission.	system:NES unlicensed:true system:GB unlicensed:true
`kiosk`[notforresale]	`kiosk [boolean]` Whether or not this game release was used in a kiosk. Can be: `true` or `false`. Used inside a store kiosk for marketing purposes. A kiosk release has indiciations that distinguish it, such as a different product code, "Not For Resale" being printed on the label, and/or other indications. In many cases, kiosk releases were collected by marketing representatives after their use and destroyed. Kiosk releases were not intended for public use/consumption. NOTE: The presence of "Not For Resale" on a release has many different meanings and does not mean it was used in a kiosk; many system pack-ins and bundled items have "Not For Resale" on them. Trade demos often have "Not For Resale" on them too. The phrase "Not For Resale" is a completely different concept and should NOT be used synonymously for a kiosk release, you should update the terminology you use immediately if you are guilty of this.	system:SNES kiosk:true system:N64 kiosk:true
`longbox`	`longbox [boolean]` Whether or not this game release is "longbox" style. Can be: `true` or `false`. Applies to PlayStation only. Longboxes are akin to Sega Saturn / CD in size - many use the same exact large style jewel case, but other PlayStation longbox titles use different materials. All PlayStation longbox titles are earlier releases in the PlayStation life, between 1995-96. We've added this search flag as an easy way to show all of them at once!	longbox:true
