SteamGifts Quick Search - new SG-related userscript

Open
ZeroUnderscoreOu

So, some shameless selfadvertising.
I wrote a userscript, which I called SteamGifts Quick Search, that adds SG button to the Steam Store. You can see how it looks like on the pics.
On left click it opens a giveaways search page for viewed game. On middle click it opens bundle list search page for that game. And the icon on the button shows if a game is bundled (on the pic, left to right - "loading", "everything's OK", "bundle game", "error" (check console)).
If anybody is interested, it wouldn't be hard to wrap everything into a full browser extension, but I would like to make some beta testing & get some feedback before submitting it for a review.
Note that this script depends on spelling. If game's name on SG differs from original in Steam, game wouldn't be found.

Source code is here.
Greasemonkey version is here.
You can discuss it in this topic or here.

This is cool and really helpful.
Is there anyway you could have it also check if a game has been free?

If there's some resource with a list of such games.

Apart from the obvious fact that they will be missing when attempting to create a giveaway (which wouldn't be much help in this case), there's an unofficial list here: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/pJRbR/can-we-have-a-list-of-games-that-cannot-be-created-as-giveaway-unofficial-list-inside

I thought about games missing in creation list, but checking this way would mean that every new game would be erroneously reported until it's added.
Tnx for the topic hint, I'm not frequent on SG forums myself.
And gratz with cakeday)

Yes, this would be very useful. Additionally, I'd love to see whether a game is in the bundles list or not from the store page.

It does show that. The sg symbol next to community hub shows normal for unbundled or free, and has a b in the middle of it for bundled games.

Cross origin source warning appears in my Chrome
Add "// @connect steampowered.com" at the top of the script to bypass this warning

Other than that, it works fine.
Nice script.

I assumed that everything that works in Greasemonkey works the same way in Tampermonkey and didn't even test.
Added @connect steamgifts.com.
Fixed, thanks.

Oh right, should be @connect steamgifts.com not @connect steampowered.com
Updated the script, and the warning is gone.
Very nice.

I like it. I would make the left click on the button open the search results in a new tab. Thats just my preference. I can ctrl click or swipe.

The thing is, you can force new tab by holding Ctrl, but you can't "unforce" new tab to open in the same window.
Though, if I'll get to preferences, I'll add that.

1.1.1-beta

Fixed to remove Tampermonkey's warning and added search of free games. Changed icons, so please update ASAP, as it may show wrong status.

Hey, cg added new search parameter by appid
You can change your search method to use appid instead of game name.

Added searching of giveaways by game Id instead of name. Yeah, it took me just 4 months.
