[Feature Request] Searching for servers where a specified map is comprised in all those they are configured to run

Now, Game Tracker only permits to search for servers currently running a specified map. A feature as per title would be nice to me.
I think, however, that servers must give this information, else Game Tracker should develope an API which servers may integrate. Is this right?

Servers don't typically report map rotations, just the map. The only way I see this as possible is if it was searching for servers that have played that map. In that case, I don't think it would reflect what you would be looking for as it does not imply that the server will play the map again.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Are you able to tell me if Game Tracker will implement this information?

Probably not any time in the near future since you are the only person requesting it, however it will be considered when planning future site updates.

I'm not sure if I would expect being able to search a complete history of server maps over the entirety of GameTracker anytime soon.

I have forgotten to explain the reason of my request.
I suppose could be useful mainly for mappers to know where thier works much probably have been adopted, in the cases they haven't yet been contacted by anyone. Then, it could be useful for players too who wish to play a certain map.
