I'd Like to Search Games by FEN string

Hi.  I noticed that the analysis board can take FEN strings to set up a position, and that the Game Explorer shows the FEN string of the current position... however, as far as I can tell, Game Explorer does NOT allow me to enter a FEN string, or otherwise search the database for games in a particular situation.  If I know a board setup, but don't know the moves which were played to arrive at that position, I don't see any effective way to find if the game is in the database.

E.G., this would be the FEN string for one of the games in Tactics Trainer:

2r3k1/p4p1p/2r3p1/p1bp4/b4B2/P1R1PN2/5PPP/1R2K3 b -

It enters fine in an analysis board.  Yet I can't search for the matching game in the database.

P.S. I found the game eventually (http://www.chess.com/games/view.html?id=361730), but only by the ridiculously inefficient method of shifting pieces around on the Game Explorer board until they matched the position I was looking for.

Got a good offline database, use Scid, and do it on your desktop.

The added advantage is that you can organise you game collection better.

It took me about 10 seconds to find I have 1 game in my rather limited DB with that position:

Thanks for the tip, I just might get myself such a database.  It would also be nice to do the same kind of search at chess.com.  I like the site a lot, and it has many great features, so I'm not trying to be a whiner, but I think it would be convenient.

 Did either of you find an easy way to do this? I'm trying to search for a particular game based just on the position. Having some real trouble with it...Any help?

It would be nice to have such a tool

If you go to "Learn -> Games" and click on the "Advanced" option, you should see a FEN search box.

I cannot find this menu anymore, does it still exist?

It's More > Games Database > Advance

Thanks a lot! But it's only possible to search for games from masters, not regular chess.com users? :/

There's no way to search all member gabes and it probably unlikely there ever will be due to the database size. There's also currently no option to search a single member's games by FEN
