@War Jay 77 Alright, but I can't seem to find where to create a new thread. Again, I could just be so blind that I just don't see it, but where is it?

While I don't use this site super often, whenever I'm trying to look for series with multiple specific tropes (to use as examples in discussions) It can be real annoying using the Google Quote Finder, since a lot of Times the results just end up being the tropes themselves rather than any series with all the tropes I've listed. Having a Search Series by Specific Tropes feature would really help narrow down series you're looking for with all of said tropes instead of trying to use google quote finder or scowering TV Tropes itself HARD to find your answers! For a random example, if I wanna search for a series with Defeat Means Friendship, World of Badass, & Cast from Hit Points, if there were a Search Series by Specific Tropes feature, I could just put all 3 of those series down in the search (or select them, whichever way works) & it would show me all the series that have those 3 specific tropes. It doesn't even seem too difficult to implement since the search would literally just be playing guess who with the Listed Tropes of every media that has a page in TV Tropes
If you wanna go the extra mile for this, though I don't expect this to be featured immediately when/if the feature itself gets implemented, there could also be the option to either search only by tropes that the series itself lists, or also allow for tropes that only specific characters show (in the characters tab if said media has 1), & not the series itself. & While I honestly dunno how this specific feature would work, if it could somehow work, the search could even allow you to search for specific "playing with" aspects of each trope (Example - Defeat Means Friendship: Played for Drama, World of Badass: Exaggerated, Cast from Hit Points: Inverted). Again, I dunno how or even if it could be implemented considering I doubt that even most tropes listed on each & every media post lists how it uses each & every trope, but if it CAN work, that would be even more awesome to have
Now I'll admit I could be horrifically blind to this site & that there's already this kind of feature implemented to begin with, but as of now, trying to use Google Quote Finder to search for series with very specific tropes is a pain, & this seemingly simple to implement feature (without the bonuses I listed, though by all means if you wanna include them that'd be great) would make things a lot easier
