Feature Request: add games manually

Hi,

As far as I know, there is no possibility to add games played offline (or on other platforms?) to the database of played games?

Eg. I play in a club on a weekly basis. I now add the games to the analysis board or to a private study.
However, it would be handy if I could just add the game manually and have it available under 'my games' what I could search them by opening, result etc. For me personally, I wouldn't mind if other people could see these games. I suppose there are others out there with the same idea?

Could be added in the 'Import Game' tab?

'Import Game' is the feature that lets you import games manually. Games will show up in your profile under Games > Imported Games.
However, imported games don't show up in advanced search, and I'm not sure why.

I agree, it's ok-ish, but the possibility to just 're-play' your game (like in a study/analysis...) instead of importing PGN's might improve it drastically. And afterwards adding info like the (fide) elo's, adversary names, round, tournament...

Now I am more or less force into other -paid- apps with wonky support and buggy code, OR if I find one that's ok, it costs a ridiculous amount of money (sometimes even with a subscription). Only because I like my games to be stored somewhere 'in a cloud' that is accessible via more than one type of device (mobile, pc...). Storing a Fritz/chessbase DB on some Dropbox, Box, OneDrive... works, but is a bit of a legacy approuch to it. Mobile apps (android/iOS) tend to store the files locally but not in a cloud db. I thought Lichess could fill out that gap ;-)
