This is a short guide with examples to help you create advanced search queries.
You can use the global search to search for gallery titles and tags in any combination.
We will focus mainly on tags here since that will be your primary activity for getting the stuff you want.
Note that if you are searching for one tag only, it's always better to use the browser, since it offers more options (like sorting) than the search.
Search for content that contains Loli OR Nekomimi: loli nekomimi Since two keywords are typed, both are used to search. Results that contain both are listed first. Now let's say we want both:
Search for content that contains Loli AND Nekomimi: +loli +nekomimi Search for content that contains Loli but NOT Nekomimi: loli -nekomimi
Search tags with multiple words:
If you search for Touhou Project you will actually search for two things, 'Touhou' and 'Project'. While you will still get your Touhou results first, this can add a lot of noise. To fix this enclose in quotes:
Search for Touhou Project: "Touhou Project" Search for Touhou Project, excluding Sanae: "Touhou Project" -"Kochiya Sanae"
Search by ID:
You can use the ID instead of the name if you know it, this can be handy if you wish to save some typing. Use quotes or commas to separate IDs.
Find all English (T6) Manga (T3): +T6, +T3, Select 3 galleries (G), now filter out the Japanese ones: "G1" "G2" "G3" -"T7"
More advanced examples:
Search for content that contains Loli but NOT Incest and favor Nekomimi, and push down results that do NOT contain glasses (but do not exclude it): +loli -incest nekomimi ~glasses Search for content from the circles clesta or Crazy9 that contain paizuri and large breasts, but exclude rape: +paizuri +"large breasts" clesta Crazy9 -rape Search all Infinite Stratos releases by life4kaoru with Charlotte (デュノア (Dunois)) in them: +life4kaoru +IS +デュノア
