    I was trying to fid pokemon games, searching for pokemon showed me alot, but it didn`t showed pokemon conquest.
    Searching individually for conquest, then it shows pokemon conquest.

    What it could be? did i misread any rule or nonpaid accounts cant get more than xx results?

    There is a limit to how many search results are returned (regardless of whether you pay or not) for performance reasons. We have millions of rows in our database and searching through them all would be computationally expensive and take time, so we have to limit the number of results. It's possible that just searching for 'pokemon' hits that limit.

    It's not for performance reasons, it's simply because looking through more than 50 results makes no sense when you can just search for "pokemon conquest" and find it immediately.

    Thanks for all the replyes.

    I know that makes no sense. However, when you`d like to know which pokemon titles are available in romulation, searching is indeed interesting for example. Instead of having to search the web of which pokemon is available, and then coming back to romulation to check if indeed it is available or not, in the site, for example.

    Thank you.
