Feel like this should have been suggested before, but couldn't find a thread when I searched for it.
Edit: Found request (link), but the solution doesn't include the genre/advanced searches.

Is there a way to add a:
Show only scanlated manga
option to the search options. Currently most of the searches have the the following options (none of which filter out unscanlated manga):

Show all licensed/unlicensed manga
Show only licensed manga
Show only unlicensed manga

Show all manga
Only show completely scanlated manga
Only show completed (including oneshots) manga
Only show one shots

shrugs Don't know, could be that it happens so rarely that a manga is unscanlated that it's not even worth filtering out, but I've stumbled on a bunch while looking for something to read.

I kind of agree with this but my suggestion would be for a way to filter out how much is scanlated. I try to stick with mangas that have at least 2 volumes scanned so I can get a feel for where the manga is going. I've encountered quite a few manga I was interested in but were only 1-3 chapters scanned.

a)dunno-feel if they go that route, than there should probably be a whole separate search where the user can input the min vols. (plus I know for some mangas the scans aren't even tagged with volumes, so it's hard to tell)
b)don't know how the database/backend is structured, so not sure if it's true, but I think filtering out scanlated may be as simple as looking at releases (if release>0 then include) or otherwise relatively trivial, and I think trying to find an exact number of volumes may be a lil more complicated (yeah go through releases, search if vol>2, ok not so much more complicated-given of course that all releases are labled)
