I thought it could be a good idea to notify users that the search engine only takes exact matches and urge them to spell correctly or try the American title whenever a search gets no matches. It currently only refers to the request forums.

The text could be expanded into something like this: "We have no results for "rfvhbdvbfs". Be sure the spelling is correct since this search engine only takes exact matches, including spacing and special characters. Games also primarily goes under their North American titles on this site so be sure to try those. If you've done this and still get no results then you can try requesting the game in our forums if you'd like."
