I was wondering if in the near future it's possible for the site to have a feature where you can search a manga based on keywords in it's summary. Sometimes I ( and probably others as well) tend to forget a series title but can still manage to remember a characters name or basically what the manga is about, which is usually written in summaries.

We already have that. Search 'gang' and it will give you all manga with titles and summaries that have 'gang' included.

Seriously?! Sorry then, so yes stupid suggestion. And I was actually just going to edit this because this might be one of the reasons why there's a I'm Looking For...section. Guess I didn't think it through while I posted this.
Can you please lock this, now that I know of this. And Thank you!

It's hard to find stuff with it though...
Shame I can't select "only search title" or "only summary"...

Sorry but I don't get how you do it. I searched a certain word and it only returned titles with the word not series that have the word in the summary...ugh.. maybe I'm doing this wrong...

Which word? You have to take into account that not every word will be found in the summary database. For example; accountability, I don't think you'll find that.

Test it with any series.
I looked at Suzuka, checked summary for a word and picked 'teensy'.
If you search teensy in the manga search box, it will show up after you..
hit the Go button from the Search Series box in the /next/ window because we get "Global searching is currently undergoing a fix."

lol, tried that and it worked. But it's an uncommon word...
That fix thing has been there for a long time already. I wonder how high-tech it will be when it's completed. Provided people are actually working on it. (j/k^^)
I searched for "sex toy" and it gave me too many unrelated things, with title included.
That's why:

Well, with sex toy, it'll search for 'sex toy' together, and then 'sex' individually and the same for 'toy', I presume? The best implementation is to make use of the keywords suggestion, rawr! It'll solve everything. o__o

Yea that was it!
I actually searched gang as an example and it only returned series with the word in the title after I typed it in the manga search box. I didn't think about clicking search series. That's what I did wrong.
Thank you for all the help!!
Now that I know how to do it that would actually be much more helpful if you could do such a thing.

Doc. You're a genius. I never knew you could narrow the list down like that!
XD.
