From the change log:

-Added an additional search page to help with finding QTs with irregular names
We tried some test cases today that would mimic how people reading old games might want to access the related QuickTopics.

In general, what we find in game threads are just QuickTopic URLS. Whatever title the Mods gave their QuickTopics usually weren't written out in the game thread. The QuickTopic title in the archive may or may not contain part of the game title itself. And players may not have used their mafiascum user names in the QuickTopic. So the
Page 2
scroll list of QuickTopic titles or the
Page 3
user name search may or may not help you find the QuickTopics that belong to the specific games you're researching.

Cabd created a fourth page for the app to make it easier to find QuickTopics with the minimal information you might have from a specific game. The page has four new search boxes that can help you find the QuickTopic in the haystack: URL search, Topic Name search, User Name Search, and Post Text search. You can use all, some, or one of these search boxes to find QuickTopic titles that might be what you are looking for.

You can use
Page 4
to narrow down the Quicktopic name(s) you're looking for, and then use
Page 2
to scroll through the alphabetical list of topic titles and click the relevant titles to filter down to just the posts that go with the QuickTopic(s) you want to read.
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
