2 years ago Potential issues I've found with such an approach:
- If we search the same game, but with ever so slightly different phrasing (or misspelling, or what have you), it'll make a NEW request.
- What happens if the bot shuts down? The whole cache disappears and the whole thing has to restart.
Unrelated to what I just mentioned, I also realized that this command can be used to search literally anything. It's not necessarily a game exclusive searcher. That's not what I intended and I'm going to have to fix that.
Right now I just make a query every time we search something; we don't necessarily have to do that. We could just memorize whether or not we searched that thing already, and then pick it from memory. Much faster, much more efficient, and Youtube won't yell at me for making too many requests.
