… after a succesful search

This pull request solves this issue: |

The ”Submit a new game” button has been re-added a while back (it is right above the filter) so the extra link is redundant. |

Sure, but I think the reminder to search unpublished games is still useful. I just put the "add a game" link for when that option is already ticked, I think it would look dumb if it told you to look in unpublished when you're already looking in unpublished. |

Users will be confused about this message. A better message would be: Check the ”Show unpublished” option on the filter and click ”Apply filter” to execute the search with the inclusion of unpublished games.
Added some text that points the user towards the "Show unpublished" option after a "successful" search, and, if that option is already ticked, it links them to the game creation page.
I feel this is needed because even if a search returns some results, those results might not be what you're looking for, in which case you might not be aware of these possibilities.
For example, I was looking for "Of orcs and men", which isn't published. However, since "Styx: Master of Shadows" mentions it in its description, I wasn't made aware of the existence of unpublished games, or of the game creation page, and I had to look for help in the discord channel.
I think this patch is a good way to deal with cases like that.
