How do you actually search for games while excluding thread replies and certain tags?

So I go to advanced search, and at "without tags" I include both "3dcg" and "3DCG", but when I then search the two first pages are all "Dating My Daughter" thread replies

The game is tagged with 3dcg, so I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong since the search, very specifically, was meant to not include this

How do I go about this? If anyone knows whether there's a way to only search for threads and not thread replies, that'd be really nice as well

For that tick the titles only box in the search bar menu, and above that you can pick how far the search will look. If your looking for a actual game use the quick search bar there's one in the games section, and under the featured games on the main page.

I am trying to search for everything excluding those tags, not something specific

Thanks man you are a real lifesaver, whenever i wanted to search for a game i had to google search the name + f95 to get to the page. Was starting to feel dumb coz i wasnt able to figure out how to search for just the games and not everything
