Hi, I enjoy reading manga and have been keeping up with many of the popular manga and wanted to start looking into the less known stuff. Through my searching I realised the search function could use some work.

1. Make it possible to search by "or" when searching genres. Many times I find the manga info page doesn't include every kind of genre that the manga encompasses. This will cause many of the genres to filter out things that should be included. The only other option is to have a number of dedicated people go through every manga info page and make sure it has every possible genre included.

2. The next problem with searching by genres is that you can't sort them any way other than alphabetical and date created. Two sortings I would like to see implemented are sort by rating and sort by release or done, or at least an option that gets rid of mangas that aren't being scanlated at all. Sorting by rating has its obvious positives, if only more people start rating the manga they read (me included). I hate having to search through 50 entries in a page and finding only 10 manga that are being scanlated 3 of which have been dropped over a year ago. That is why you should be able to search by most recent release/done. The completed manga would show up first then the rest by last release date. I know there is already a search for completed manga, but this would be easier than having to search twice for the same genres.

3. "If you liked this manga you may also like these:" function. Basically search for people who are reading or have completed the manga and have rated it high. Then search for a manga that at least like 30% of them have rated highly.

4. Critic's corner or something like that where the top reviewers who wrote numerous revies can put up a suggestion of a lesser known scanlated manga, or suggest an good unscanlated manga for scanlators to look at. Something like the top four reviewers would get a small section of a page and it would have their current suggestion.

Thanks for listening to my suggestions, and I just want to express my gratitude at how good the site is already.
