The search function doesn't show all series. When I serached for ghost in the shell, and the sequels they didn't show up in the search. But in the series info they were there.
Should be fixed..
edit: appleseed by the same author has the same problem

That's actually because there are no releases for any of those, so you have to use the series search found at the bottom of http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html

Yea, I had started (twice, I think) a new section to fix that and make it less complicated. It will get done eventually, but most of the problems are on the database side. MySQL doesn't have a really good way to do indexed fulltext searches for the data sets we have (i hate the current fulltext support), but I have some ideas on how to implement a better searching algo. It's going to be a matter of time, between me getting some free time to actually implement this into the site and schoolwork.
It will happen! Some day. This just happens to be one of those periods where I don't have too much time to look into this. Thanks for the suggestion though!
