Suggestions on Advanced Search

Hello, I would like to give some suggestions on the Advanced Search feature.

It would be nice to be able to specify some additional criteria for the search:

  • Year (as a interval, for example 1990 - 2001)
  • User Rating, number of votes given.

If you want to, you could have a look at IMDb's Advanced Search for inspiration. It is very powerful (you could describe it as "feature complete" ).

Thank you for this great site, I hope you will appreciate these suggestions.

Yeah, this sounds good. A lot more can be included in Advanced Search I think, something I'd also like is a number of volumes criteria(also in intervals like 5-8 volumes).

I personally would also like a "Only show manga on any of my lists" option, since there is already a "Only show manga not on any of my lists" one.

When tag/category searching for a series and you can't remember whether you completed/dropped/put it on hold/are reading it, it would reduce the subsequent searches needed by a significant amount.

I second the date suggestion, I also would love it if we could search by volume length, or add tags with a number of ranges kind of like vndb (Very Short Length(2≤ Volumes) , Short Length(3-10 volumes) , Medium Length(11-30 Volumes) , Long Length(31-50 Volumes) , Very Long Length(50-100 volumes) , and 100+ Volumes

My 3rd suggestion would be the ability to search by publisher and by magazine/publication, so for example someone could filter and order the releases of hana to yume by date and genre if someone so desired.

I was thinking the same thing.

Also, the ability to search Year "ascending" instead of "descending", so older manga show up first and aren't cut off at the 100 page limit.

The back-end programming is simple: https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_ref_order_by.asp

Would there be a timeline for implementing any features such as the ones above, especially by length? I'd also like a by publisher option for advanced search and by publication feature for advanced search.

I've been thinking of making tags such as 1-2 volumes, 3-10 volumes, 11-30 volumes, 31-50 volumes etc and so on but I can easily see them being misused because of people attaching them to ongoing series etc and then the tag never really going away. It would be better to be able to search length by the internal data.

Otherwise, I may simply have to make my own lists divided by length.

Hello. If we could get some comments from the website staff that would be great. Thanks.

Agree with the filter by publisher suggestion. Also, an additional section to EXCLUDE by "Categories/Tags (one per line)".

idk if someone already mentioned or if this is what you are looking for, but you can add a - before the category for it to not show in the search results

I'd like to be able to search by multiple categories/tags at once. Also to be able to search a tag straight from the search bar. Right now, I have to click on a tag in a manga that already has it, which isn't always doable if I don't know any manga that have that tag. I could try going to the URL and typing out the tag, but I have to remember to put + between each word, and it doesn't work if I make a typo/don't remember exactly how the tag is spelled (which is a problem with the way this site makes some tags both singular and plural).

Might I ask for an extra search button right below the box where we can add tags to search for? Just for convenience.

You can already put a minus before a category to exclude it 😉

Edit: Apparently I'm blind, someone else already answered this... sorry.

Yes, in addition to

If we could get these, too

I prefer to use : filters by

  • Recently added

  • type: Manhwa, Start date, Descending order

  • Sort By Magazine [Serialized In (magazine)] or Original Publisher

If i could narrow the search to only those 2 :

Naver Webtoon KakaoPage

That will help me more, & make it more easier to find the new released Manhwa that i like.

Thank you for your suggestions. We have plans to improve the search system, and we'll keep these ideas in mind once we get to them.
