I really love Roll20 and a great deal of the things that it does, but "looking for group" is one area where it fails badly. Don't get me wrong, it's just fine as long as you wish to run or play a game in the pre-established list, but otherwise it doesn't work very well. Currently the "Matching Keywords" in LFG does not even appear to search the description of a game, but instead only its title. This is far from sufficient. It makes it much less likely right now that those running "Other" games will find the players interested in their games or vice versa. The current list also contains inconsistencies such as both Warhammer 40K and Dark Heresy. Overlapping classifications like this can lead to further confusion. Keeping a comprehensive list is a rather trivial matter and by assigning trusted community moderators to maintain it, the burden of maintaining it becomes very low. The size of the list (as far as it becoming too large) is really a non-issue given that Roll20 already implements a "find as you type" style interface that actively filters matching selections as you type. I know the Roll20 folks are busy and have made some great improvements, but I think it is about time that LFG becomes more usable. It is telling when a subreddit /roll20LFG exists so that people can find games easier. People shouldn't need to resort to outside tools. Frankly I think editions should be tracked along with game, but I would settle for a more comprehensive and consistent listing of games. I realize this won't be a quick or trivial thing to implement given that changes to the list will affect existing games and that would likely involve a need to notify players running a campaign with a listed game that is no longer in the list, so that they may update their campaign data. Also a mechanism would need to be constructed to assign the moderators and allow them to perform actual moderation of the games list. However, compared to some of the features in Roll20, this is rather simple :).
