Search systems by expectancy, average win, profit factor.
Why?
Because gain% is severely related to the money management used, you can have an almost perfect system with 90% probability and 2:1 profit ratio and still have a low gain with a low-risk money management. I'd prefer to search something like probability, sharpe ratio, expectancy.
The value in pips would again me more useful to determine which is the better system, not the one which is trading more money.

I agree - searching by Average Profit and Average Loss would be incredibly helpful. It would enable me to find swing / positional trading systems, by filtering out the scalpers / short term systems. Please could you add these two fields?
In addition, adding fields like profit factor, sharpe ratio, standard deviation, average trade duration, AHPR etc would be fantastic. I'm not sure why you haven't taken the opportunity to add these types of fields yet. They would be incredibly valuable for system searches.
