If I understood correctly, this build removes the random selection (which basically only works when you have typed <= 2 chars, given that after that there are not so many possible choices) and the limit to the number of displayed titles, so that you can scroll the whole list to choose
imho, it is not that useful, given that it can only list the name of the game (the UI is not suited to display snaps, which would be maybe more helpful) and you often end up in the middle of a series of fruit machines which you have to scroll before reaching some game you might be interested in... but if some users like it, they are free to use it
